DALI, Salvador. Die Diners Mit Gala.

(Berlin): Propylaen, 1975. First German edition. Quarto. 324 pages. A lavishly illustrated cookbook, featuring Dalí’s intensely erotic etchings and paintings. The twelve chapters each cover a specific class of dishes — from exotic courses to fish and shellfish to vegetables — rendered with a surrealist twist both gastronomically and aesthetically, but nowhere more so than in the tenth chapter, dedicated to aphrodisiacs. A very near fine copy in dust jacket. A pleasing copy of this surrealistic ode to exotic (and erotic) dishes.
