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 Dalí\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFood 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 \u003cstrong\u003eSalvador Dalí\u003c\/strong\u003e and his wife and muse, \u003cstrong\u003eGala\u003c\/strong\u003e, were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us, Dalí published a cookbook in 1973, \u003cem\u003eLes dîners de Gala\u003c\/em\u003e, which reveals some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume features all \u003cstrong\u003e136 recipes\u003c\/strong\u003e over \u003cstrong\u003e12 chapters\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edelightfully illustrated by Dalí\u003c\/strong\u003e, and organized by meal courses, including \u003cstrong\u003eaphrodisiacs\u003c\/strong\u003e. The illustrations and recipes are accompanied by Dalí's extravagant musings on subjects such as dinner conversation: \"The jaw is our best tool to grasp philosophical knowledge.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll 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 \u003cstrong\u003eLasserre, La Tour d'Argent, Maxim's\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eLe Train Bleu\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGood taste, however voluptuous, never goes out of fashion. In making this exceptionally rare book available to a wide audience, TASCHEN brings \u003cstrong\u003ean artwork, a practical cookbook, and a multisensory adventure\u003c\/strong\u003e to today's kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470372978924,"sku":"9783836508766","price":141.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836508766-dal-les-d-ners-de-gala.jpg?v=1775217620","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/dali-les-diners-de-gala-9783836508766","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
