Sixty-eight years old his ambition was fullfilled in the shape of a book:Les Dîners de Gala,originally published in 1973 in the French language, consists oftwelve chapters, featuring 136 recipesfrom celebrated Paris restaurants asLa Tour d'ArgentandMaxim's, illustrated in surrealist fashion by Dalí himself.
