Paul McCartney Cooks Up A New Book

The former Beatle wants you to eat less meat

Published 25th Oct 2011

The book was released in the UK last week and it's a cookbook which features a load of recipes for meat free meals submitted by a variety of celebrities and chefs.

The book features a foreword from Sir Paul and his daughter Stella, who launched the Meat Free Monday campaign in 2009 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.

The Meat Free Monday Cookbook is for "everyone who shares the campaign's aims and consists of menus for each of the 52 weeks of the year. Packed with recipes such as Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes, Basil and Mushroom Tart, Pilau Rice with Cashews and Watermelon Granita, as well as vibrant spring soups, inventive summer salads, appetising autumn bakes and comforting winter stews, it includes contributions from Paul and Stella McCartney and celebrity and chef supporters of the campaign such as Skye Gyngell, Giorgio Locatelli, Theo Randall, Yotam Ottolenghi, Kevin Spacey and Vivienne Westwood."
