Manifesto of Futurist Cooking

The Manifesto of Futurist Cooking, authored by Italian artist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1930, called for revolutionizing traditional cuisine by emphasizing innovation, dynamism, and modernity. It encouraged abandoning classic recipes to embrace new flavors, techniques, and aesthetics that reflect the energy of the modern age, including technology and speed. The manifesto aimed to break culinary conventions, making food a creative and expressive art form that embodies the spirit of progress and progressiveness. In essence, it sought to reimagine cooking as a forward-looking, avant-garde experience aligned with the Futurist movement’s emphasis on innovation.
