Salvador Dalí & J. Peter Moore - Les dîners de Gala - 1971

Charming illustrated edition of this extravagant culinary book that embodies the surreal universe of the artist by translating his pictorial imagination into the table setting -

Designed as a gastronomic manifesto, the work gathers twelve thematic chapters inspired by pomp and excess, where recipes and illustrations mingle in a baroque celebration of sensuality and pleasure -

Dalí distorts the tradition of cookbooks by introducing bold visual compositions, stylized photographs, and texts imbued with humor and provocation, transforming each dish into a work of art -

This book, rare and sought-after, bears witness to the Dalinian obsession with excess, opulence, and the fusion of the arts, and remains a reference for enthusiasts of surrealism and bibliophilia -
