"Les diners de Gala is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of taste
... If you are a disciple of one of those calorie-counters who turn
the joys of eating into a form of punishment, close this book at
once; it is too lively, too aggressive, and far too impertinent for
you."-Salvador Dali Food and surrealism make perfect bedfellows:
sex and lobsters, collage and cannibalism, the meeting of a swan
and a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner parties
thrown by Salvador Dali (1904-1989) and his wife and muse, Gala
(1894-1982) were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us, Dali
published a cookbook in 1973, Les diners de Gala, which reveals
some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up
their notorious gatherings. This reprint features all 136 recipes
over 12 chapters, specially illustrated by Dali, and organized by
meal courses, including aphrodisiacs. The illustrations and recipes
are accompanied by Dali's extravagant musings on subjects such as
dinner conversation: "The jaw is our best tool to grasp
philosophical knowledge." All these rich recipes can be cooked at
home, although some will require practiced skill and a well-stocked
pantry. This is cuisine of the old school, with meals by leading
French chefs from such stellar Paris restaurants as Lasserre, La
Tour d'Argent, Maxim's, and Le Train Bleu. Good taste, however
voluptuous, never goes out of fashion. In making this exceptionally
rare book available to a wide audience, TASCHEN brings an artwork,
a practical cookbook, and a multisensory adventure to today's
kitchens.The first English edition of Les Diners de Gala was
published in 1973 by FELICIE, INC., New York
