Salvador Dali's surrealist cookbook being re-issued by Taschen

My Modern Met just shared news of Taschen releasing Salvador Dali's surrealist cookbook, Dalí: Les Diners de Gala. The book was published originally in 1973 and has been out of print for quite some time.

Taschen writes:

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.”

Sounds pretty neat! If you enjoy the weird and truly bizarre with your meals, maybe you might want to pre-order this Dali cookbook now.
