Synergetic Stew: Explorations in Dymaxion Dining by Jamie Snyder (English) Spira

Description: Synergetic Stew: Explorations in Dymaxion Dining by Jamie Snyder A delightful dymaxion cookbook homage to Buckminster Fuller, featuring John Cages macrobiotic recipes, Margaret Meads cucumber salad and more. Buckminster Fuller is globally known as a design scientist, architect, author, poet, engineer and a true visionary. On his 86th birthday he received the cookbook Synergetic Stew as a surprise present from his friends and admirers, who share recipes along with personal anecdotes and humorous recollections of Fuller (for example, a reminiscence about Buckys love for tea in all its variations). Scattered throughout the book are enticing texts and poems from Fuller himself, including even a recipe for tomato ice cream. Constructed around 100 achievable recipes, this book is a glimpse into Fullers life, as told by his peers. A few of the recipes are a joyful ode to Fullers oeuvre, such as Shirley Sharkeys "GEODESICANDY," the "Macrobiotic Diet" by John Cage or Amy Edmondsons "Allspace-Filling Whole Wheat Bread." In addition to the facsimile, Jamie Snyder reflects upon often-overlooked facets of Buckys character, as revealed through anecdotes of his relationship to food. Contributors include: Bil Baird, Peter Brown, John Cage, Lim Chong Keat, Elizabeth Choy, John Ciardi, John Denver, Amy Edmondson, Ted Ehmann, Werner Erhard, Ronald Feldman, John and Isobel Fistere, Medard Gabel, Eugene Garfield, Neva Goodwin, dArcy Hayman, Henry J.

But Buckminster Fullers Synergetic Stew: Explorations in Dymaxion Dining, newly-reprinted to celebrate the design scientist, architect, author, poet, engineer and visionarys 125th anniversary, might just be this delightfully niche categorys most obscure title of all.--Simon Mills "Wallpaper*"This personal recipe book - reprinted as a limited edition in July to coincide with what would have been Fullers 125th birthday - includes Bucky-related contributions from surprising names such as Cedric Price, John Denver, John Cage and Isamu Noguchi, as well as Fuller himself. The unusual ring-bound collection of type-written recipes, anecdotes, sketches and poems reveals another side to Fuller, including his love of tea and a recipe for tomato ice cream. The books visual design is as quirky and enlightening as Fullers work itself.--Francesca Gavin "Financial Times" Long Description A delightful dymaxion cookbook homage to Buckminster Fuller, featuring John Cages macrobiotic recipes, Margaret Meads cucumber salad and more Buckminster Fuller is globally known as a design scientist, architect, author, poet, engineer and a true visionary.
