Synopsis "VA-DALI, DINERS DE GALA -ANGLA (En papel)"

"Les diners de Gala is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of taste ... 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 DalíFood and surrealism make perfect bedfellows: sex and lobsters, collage and cannibalism, the meeting of a swan and a toothbrush on a pastry case. The opulent dinner parties thrown by Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) and his wife and muse, Gala (1894-1982) were the stuff of legend. Luckily for us, Dalí published a cookbook in 1973, Les diners de Gala, which reveals some of the sensual, imaginative, and exotic elements that made up their notorious gatherings.This reprint features all 136 recipes over 12 chapters, specially illustrated by Dalí, and organized by meal courses, including aphrodisiacs. 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."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 Lasserre, La Tour d'Argent, Maxim's, and Le Train Bleu.Good taste, however voluptuous, never goes out of fashion. In making this exceptionally rare book available to a wide audience, TASCHEN brings an artwork, a practical cookbook, and a multisensory adventure to today's kitchens.The first English edition of Les Diners de Gala was published in 1973 by FELICIE, INC., New York

TASCHEN es una editorial alemana fundada en 1980 por Benedikt Taschen, reconocida internacionalmente por democratizar los libros de arte, fotografía, arquitectura, cine y diseño con ediciones visualmente impactantes y precios más accesibles que los tradicionales volúmenes de colección. Desde sus inicios en Colonia, la editorial apostó por combinar alta calidad gráfica con una mirada amplia sobre la cultura visual, publicando desde monografías de artistas clásicos hasta estudios sobre cultura pop, erotismo, publicidad y cine. Su catálogo se volvió inconfundible por el gran formato, el cuidado diseño editorial y esas portadas que parecen exigir una mesa enorme solo para poder abrirlas cómodamente.

Entre sus títulos más conocidos se encuentra Arquitectura Moderna de la A a la Z, una extensa guía ilustrada sobre figuras, movimientos y obras fundamentales de la arquitectura contemporánea. TASCHEN también ha publicado libros dedicados a Salvador Dalí, Stanley Kubrick, David Hockney, manga, fotografía de moda y diseño industrial, consolidando un catálogo extremadamente diverso. La editorial ha logrado equilibrar investigación, atractivo visual y difusión cultural masiva, convirtiéndose en una referencia imprescindible para lectores interesados en artes visuales y coleccionismo editorial.
