Uniform Title:
La cucina futurista
Content:
No other cultural force except the early twentieth-century avant-garde movement Futurism has produced a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. Part manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti's The Futurist Cookbook is a collection of experiments, declamations and allegorical tales. Here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats; an argument for abolishing pasta. Although at times betraying its author's nationalistic sympathies, The Futurist Cookbook is provocative, whimsical, disdainful of sluggish traditions and delighted by the velocity and promise of modernity
