Discerning gourmand Nag on the Lake had two successive food and drinks posts that paired very well together indeed.
First, there were the exquisite still-lives of artist
Greg Stroube who imagined how the Renaissance masters might depict a Bloody Mary or a Lime Rickey with all its garnish and the hyper-realistic detail of Bellini (also the name of a cocktail, Prosecco and peach nectar) or Vermeer.

These delights of and for the palette are then served up with a selection of sumptuous recipes from the mind of Salvador Dalí from a
cookbook being reissued over forty years after its first and only print run. The surreal and bizarre
cult cookbook called
Les Diners de Gala has over a hundred
illustrated recipes—of the strange and decadent variety, like toffee and pinecones or frog pastries. Be sure to indulge more delectable delights on Nag on the Lake.
