A jump in culinary book sales is expected when instructions for preparing frog pasties and other recipes are made available again with the reissuing of Salvador Dali’s cookbook by Taschen.
Esther Addley and Alison Flood said in the Guardian that it was likely to feature thousand-year-old eggs, conger eel ‘of the rising sun’, as well as frog pasties, ‘all washed down with a cocktail of brandy, ginger and cayenne pepper’.
They added that the ‘fantastical cookbook Les Diners de Gala, was first published in 1973, featuring 136 recipes compiled by the painter and his wife Gala.
