A review by guardian
Les Diners de Gala by Salvador Dalí, J. Peter Moore
5.0
This book has been described as food porn and I can see why. The images are just amazing, including those from Jheronimus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights used for many of the chapter introductions (and oddly not credited to him).
As a vegetarian, I would never, ever eat the food described. However as a look at unusual cooking techniques, the beautiful printed menus the likes of which we never see at restaurants anymore, and page after page of interesting, odd, gorgeous artwork, this is one book we will leave out to look at again and again.
