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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Food and surrealism make perfect bedfellows: sex and lobsters, collage and cannibalism, the meeting of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case.

Luckily for us, Dalí published a cookbook in 1973, \u003cem\u003eLes diners de Gala\u003c\/em\u003e, which reveals some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This volume features all \u003cstrong\u003e136 recipes\u003c\/strong\u003e over\u003cstrong\u003e 12 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e All 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\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eLe Train Bleu\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Good taste, however voluptuous, never goes out of fashion.
