Synopsis

Buckminster Fuller is globally known as a design scientist, architect, author, poet, engineer, and a true visionary, way ahead of his time. As a surprise gift for his eighty-sixth birthday, he received Synergetic Stew: a compilation of cooking recipes contributed by his friends and colleagues, sharing personal anecdotes and humorous recollections of Fuller s life, such as a reminiscence about Bucky s somewhat peculiar but enthusiastic 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. This book is a glimpse into Fuller s life, told by his peers and embedded in nearly a hundred achievable recipes. A few of them are joyful odes towards Fuller s oeuvre, such as Shirley Sharkey s GEODESICANDY, the Microbiotic Diet by John Cage, or Amy Edmondson s Allspace-Filling Whole Wheat Bread. In addition to the facsimile, Fuller s grandson Jaime Snyder reflects upon often over- looked facets of Bucky s character, revelead through anecdotes of his relationship with food. Short profiles of all contributors complete the reprint.
