The MEAT FREE MONDAY COOKBOOK

with foreword by Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney

New hardcover book with dustjacket, published 2011. 240 pages

In 2009, Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney launched the Meat Free Monday campaign as a simple and straightforward idea to show everyone the value of eating less meat - and to make it easier for us all to do so. Cutting down the amount of meat in our diet has a huge range of environmental and personal benefits, including significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with livestock production, boosting our health by increasing the amount of fruit and veg in our diet, and helping us save money by offering substitutes for expensive meat and fish.

Often, though, our vegetarian repertoire is limited, with the result that our enthusiasm to continue with a meat-free day wanes when we are confronted with yet again eating the same dish. With menus for every week of the year - two main recipes plus four other ideas for each meal of the day - The Meat Free Monday Cookbook addresses this problem and is aimed at everyone who cares about the environment, is happy to eat vegetarian one day a week, but needs inspiration and guidance to do so.

Packed with vibrant spring soups. inventive summer salads, appetising autumn bakes and comforting winter stews, the recipes include Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes, Sicilian Cauliflower Pasta, Basil and Mushroom Tart, Pilau Rice with Cashews and Watermelon Granita. The cookbook includes contributions from Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney and celebrity and chef supporters of the campaign such as Skye Gyngell, Giorgio Locatelli, Theo Randall, Yotam Ottolenghi, Kevin Spacey and Vivienne Westwood. This book has lots of delicious recipes and will apeal to vegetarians and omnivores.
