A cooking lesson from Dali….
A couple of months ago Taschen Books re released Salivador Dali’s Les diners de Gala
Made in 1973 Dali dedicated this cookbook to his wife and muse Gala Dali ( The pair was known to have thrown the best dinner parties!). This book contains 136 recipes with such interesting names as “Conger of the rising Sun”, “Mexican Baby Turkeys” and “Father Hans Sauerkraut”
Their is even a chapter solely dedicated to aphrodisiacs (Chapter 10: Les “je mange GALA)
This is such an incredible book for both art lovers and cooking fiends. It is so visually stunning and every page offers some appealing both to the eye and the stomach.

I am not a car enthusiast but I do have an interest in art and pop culture. I have been obsessing over car interiors lately. Everything from it being a single color to looking like it could be the inside of a space space have been catching my eye. Here are some examples:

Frida Kahlo:
“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me, too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
