Dali, Salvador. Les Diners de Gala, The Salvador Dali Cookbook. First American Edition. 1973. Book is in very good condition; jacket is in good plus condition—the gold leaf jacket shows moderate rubbing and fraying.
Leave it to the grand showman Salvador Dali to produce one of the most sought-after titles in the cookbook genre—either in spite of or because of its allusions to cannibalism. Art scholars debate the “surrealist gastro-aesthetics” and the “Dionysian and Catholic” implications of this book. At its root, however, it is simply one of the most imaginative and sophisticated books on food. The recipes of Dali’s wife Gala and also Maxim’s and La Tour d’Argent are interspersed with Dali illustrations.
“I hold all visceral impulses to be the supreme indicator.”
--Salvador Dali
