Mirka & Georges
A Culinary Affair
Lesley Harding, Kendrah Morgan
Meet the legendary Mirka and Georges Mora, with classic French recipes, untold anecdotes, photographs and Mirka's sensuous and colourful artworks.
The impact of Mirka and Georges Mora on Australian art and food has been remarkable
Arriving in Melbourne in 1951 from Paris, they energised local society and transformed the culinary and artistic landscapes. Their apartment became a hub for the bohemian set, and their cafes and restaurants brimmed with sophisticated food, sexual intrigue and creative endeavours. Mirka's distinctive art, now collected by major galleries, was a vital part of this heady mix.
Their eateries were magnets to the rich and famous, a who's who of the art world and those looking for a seriously good time. Mick Jagger was a customer.

Launched in the year of Mirka's 90th birthday, Mirka & Georges gloriously illustrates the Moras' extraordinary story, with the couple's classic French recipes, photographs from family albums and…

If I manage to create a legacy half as spectacular as [Mirka] and Georges, I'll be as sweet as a Fontainbleau.”
Lisa Gorman“
Mirka & Georges: A Culinary Affair is a truly spectacular illustration of lives well lived by the Moras.”
