New York: Felicie, Inc, 1973. First printing. Near fine.. First edition of this fantastic and fantastical cookbook of the many dishes that graced the table of Dalí and his wife Gala, illustrated with incredible surrealist collages and photographs. From hors-d'œuvres ("délices petits martyrs") to aphrodisiacs ("je mange GALA"), and from Hieronymous Bosch to melting clocks, LES DÎNERS DE GALA is a fabulously surreal culinary adventure. "[E]laborated with great precision by a 'chef' wishing to remain in the most secret anonymity" (colophon), this large cookbook features recipes from Lasserre, Maxim's, la Tour d'Argent, and le Buffet de la gare de Lyon, (truncated)
