Futurist Cuisine is a famous culinary manifesto and book (published in 1932) written by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti with Fillìa. It proposed a provocative diet based on the abolition of pasta and revolutionary chemical, visual, and tactile combinations. Never before had an artistic movement embraced such a passionate commitment to culinary creation and the codification of gastronomic and convivial dining, designing recipes and creating table settings and ingenious banquet atmospheres, thus establishing a true philosophy of the table and its rituals. Not just a book, but the schematic and programmatic arrangement of the "Manifesto of Futurist Cuisine" (published on December 28, 1930, in the Turin "Gazzetta del Popolo"), co-signed by Marinetti and Fillìa, which confirmed the movement's interest in food, devoted to dynamism and modernity, itself part of a comprehensive project for the moral evolution of Italian society. Two hundred joyful and often unrealizable recipes, which in the Futurist table take on the contours of a divertissement playing on the balance between color and flavor, experimentation and style, food and illustration. Abstruse recipes that trace the boundaries of a culinary world. imaginary (and imagined), which borrows rhetorical figures and visual suggestions, from Aerovivanda to Solar Broth, from Plastic Meat to Food Landscape, to Reticulated Sky, between Divorced Eggs, Edible Skiers, and Zoological Soups: dishes created by Futurist chefs, so that "everyone has the feeling of eating not only good food, but also works of art."
