Dalí. Les dîners de Gala

Description

“Les diners de Gala is uniquely dedicated to the pleasures of style … If you’re a disciple of a type of calorie-counters who flip the fun of consuming right into a type of punishment, shut this e book without delay; it’s too vigorous, too competitive, and a long way too impertinent for you.”―Salvador Dalí

Food and surrealism make easiest bedfellows: intercourse and lobsters, university and cannibalism, the assembly of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner events thrown by means of Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) and his spouse and muse, Gala (1894–1982) had been the stuff of legend. Happily for us, Dalí printed a cookbook in 1973, Les diners de Gala, which finds one of the sensual, ingenious, and unique components that made up their infamous gatherings.

This reprint options all 136 recipes over 12 chapters, especially illustrated by means of Dalí, and arranged by means of meal lessons, together with aphrodisiacs. The illustrations and recipes are observed by means of Dalí’s extravagant musings on topics similar to dinner dialog: “The jaw is our best possible device to grab philosophical wisdom.”

All those wealthy recipes will also be cooked at house, even though a few would require practiced ability and a neatly-stocked pantry. That is delicacies of the old-fashioned, with foods by means of prime French cooks from such stellar Paris eating places as Lasserre, L. a. Excursion d’Argent, Maxim’s, and Le Educate Bleu.

Good style, alternatively voluptuous, by no means is going out of style. In making this particularly uncommon e book to be had to a large target market, TASCHEN brings an art work, a sensible cookbook, and a multisensory journey to these days’s kitchens.The primary English variation of Les Diners de Gala used to be printed in 1973 by means of FELICIE, INC., New York
