I also adore Dali, but I wasn’t aware of a cookbook or that he illustrated Alice. How totally perfect! As usual, the art is breathtaking and often horrifying--as is so much of Dali’s work. I’d so love to see that show at the Art Institute!
Your champagne “slurpee” looks glorious--so glad there are no Dali ants swarming across it!
Hurrah!!! They are very much a "marmite" thing as we say here in the UK, you either love them or you hate them. Perfect indeed with a nice cold beverage and I do love the idea of having a little glass of them alongside a cheese plate. GENIUS!
Haha! Love your Substack Jolene and would be so happy to post you some Twiglets if you want to share your address. Not sure if there’s a way to share stuff privately on Substack but you could send a message via the contact form at silverscreensuppers.com if you want to sample the delights of the TWIGLET! Jx
I had my heart set on a first edition of “Gala” for a very long time, but it was well out of my reach on a line cook’s budget. When Taschen reissued it I jumped on it! I have it on display in my home, open to show one of the many two-page spreads.
I love this book and so glad to see you featuring it! Over the top. And the lighting and colour quality of the photos is so completely of that time, it's almost hard to see with all the details of this wild food presentation.
I love love love this post!!

Oh wow! This is a whole new perspective on Dali! Thank you!
This is SO QUIRKY and perfect. Thank you!

Nice
What a wonderful post! I love Dali's work and I wasn't acquainted with either of those books! Just ordered them both :) what a treat! Thank you!
Interesting. Is the lobster telephone still in the kitchen?
I had no idea about any of these - what a dive!
[And yes, please to that champagne ice, sheesh]
I may want to try this with Prosecco this summer!

I love this, Jolene. It's fascinating! I am surprised, however, that you passed on the crayfish tower. So unlike you! ❤️
champagne...Slurpee... *taking notes*
I see her! I see her!
