Les dîners de Gala
New York: Felicie, Inc. - Publishers, (1973). First U.S. Edition. Color and black and white illustrations throughout. Hardcover. Tall quarto. 322 pages.
Dalí’s notorious cookbook which blends haute cuisine with his unmistakable surrealist theater. Includes 136 extravagant, never-before-published recipes from French restaurants. Includes chapters on exotic dishes and aphrodisiacs.
Created with Dali's wife Gala and inspired by lavish Parisian dinner parties they adored (and here gently mock), this is more a landmark 20th century artist's book than a cookbook, and is prized for its visual opulence and unabashed celebration of the bizarre.
Fine in a near fine dustjacket, in original box. No prior ownership marks. Jacket has a few faint surface scratches. A clean, bright, well-preserved copy.
