Women in the Work
Luba Gurdjieff
A Memoir with Recipes
by Luba Gurdjieff-Everitt with Marina C. Bear
This is a memoir of a remarkable woman.
As a child, Luba Gurdjieff fled revolutionary Russia with her family for the refuge of her uncle G.I.Gurdjieff's spiritual school in France. There at the Prieure near Fontainebleau Luba was raised amid the artists, intellectuals and politicians such as Katherine Mansfield, Bertrand Russell and Franklin Roosevolt, who came seeking her uncle's insights into Eastern wisdom.
Here is an intimate glimpse of this fascinating household, and the place where Luba learnt the secrets of the kitchen for which she was adored in the years to come.
As owner of Luba's Bistro, a landmark on London's social scene for over 3 decades, she served everyone from starving artists to royalty.
Luba's memoir is as irrepressible and as unexpected as her life.
