{"product_id":"the-futurist-cookbook","title":"The Futurist Cookbook","description":"\u003cp\u003ePart manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti's\u003ci\u003e Futurist Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e is a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. Here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats. Marinetti also sets out his argument for abolishing pasta as ill-suited to modernity, and advocates a style of cuisine that will increase creativity. Although at times betraying its author's nationalistic sympathies, \u003ci\u003eThe Futurist Cookbook \u003c\/i\u003eis funny, provocative, whimsical, disdainful of sluggish traditions and delighted by the velocity and promise of modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilippo Tommaso Marinetti was born in 1876 to Italian parents and grew up in Alexandria, Egypt. He studied in Paris and obtained a law degree in Italy before turning to literature. In 1909 he wrote the infamous \u003ci\u003eFuturist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, which championed violence, speed and war, and proclaimed the unity of art and life. Marinetti's life was fraught with controversy: he fought a duel with a hostile critic, was subject to an obscenity trial, and was a staunch supporter of Italian Fascism. Alongside his literary activities, he was a war correspondent during the Italo-Turkish War and served on the Eastern Front in World War II, despite being in his sixties. He died in 1944.\u003cbr\u003eLesley Chamberlain is a novelist and historian of ideas.
