Synergetic Stew

Endlessly amusing…–Andrea Gyorody “Stained Page News”[Synergetic Stew: Explorations in Dymaxion Dining] contains recipes, of course, but not always as we know them…The recipes are peppered with personal anecdotes, poems, doodles, and other texts…the cookbook recipes are intimate, approximate, and more than a little unusual.–Emily Gosling “AIGA”Synergetic Stew is a document of a magical life of heady science matched only by Fuller’s penchant for “light, wild things.”–Andrea Gyorody “Hyperallergic”The literary nexus of gastronomy and industrial design occupies an esoteric department of the publishing world at the best of times. But Buckminster Fuller’s Synergetic Stew: Explorations in Dymaxion Dining, newly-reprinted to celebrate the design scientist, architect, author, poet, engineer and visionary’s 125th anniversary, might just be this delightfully niche category’s 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 Fuller’s 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 book’s visual design is as quirky and enlightening as Fuller’s work itself.–Francesca Gavin “Financial Times”

On the occasion of Buckminster Fuller’s 125th anniversary in July 2020, this reprint was released in a limited edition.
