The quirky cookbook contains 136 recipes across 12 chapters, including one dedicated to aphrodisiacs, paired with Dalí's unique and strange illustrations. The artwork features unsettling images of crayfish, a swan with a toothbrush in a pastry case, and Dalí himself mingling with chefs. Recipes include unusual dishes like “Thousand Year Old Eggs,” “Veal Cutlets Stuffed With Snails,” and “Toffee with Pine Cones.” Dalí was famous for his extravagant dinner parties, where guests wore outrageous costumes and wild animals wandered around the table. Despite the oddities, many recipes came from top Paris restaurants like Lasserre, Maxim’s, and Le Train Bleu. The book begins with a warning that nothing in it is remotely healthy.ABOUT THE ARTIST: Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquess of Dalí of Púbol gcYC, famously known as Salvador Dalí, was a Spanish surrealist artist celebrated for his technical mastery, precise draftsmanship, and the surreal, strikingly bizarre images in his work.
