Futurist Cookbook

The Futurist Cookbook, created by Italian artist and writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1932, is a provocative book blending avant-garde art, cooking, and radical ideas. It challenges traditional notions of cuisine and culture by combining experimental recipes with bold, often inflammatory rhetoric inspired by the Futurist movement, which celebrated modern technology, speed, and innovation. The book acts as a provocative artistic statement, using food and language to jolt perceptions and express a desire to break from the past. It is both a culinary experiment and a piece of political and artistic commentary reflecting the revolutionary spirit of early 20th-century futurism.
