The Futurist Cookbook

"The Futurist Cookbook," created by Italian artist and writer Filippo Tommaso Marinetti in 1932, is a provocative collection blending culinary recipes with artistic and political ideas from the Futurist movement. It challenges traditional notions of cuisine, emphasizing speed, innovation, and modernity while reflecting the era's fascination with technology, dynamism, and breaking conventions. The book uses imaginative, often surreal instructions to provoke thought about how society and culture could evolve with progress and artistic experimentation. Overall, it’s both an artistic manifesto and a conceptual work that blurs boundaries between food, art, and societal change.
