Book Description

3 May 2012

Food is full of uncomplicated, tasty meals to tempt both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Inspired by growing up as a vegetarian and working on her mother's recipes, and using stories and photographs (past and present) to tell her life through food, Mary has created recipes for friends and family that are imaginative and creative.

Fresh, inspirational and irresistible, Mary's first cookbook will enthuse readers to bring more meat-free cooking into their repertoires. From Fruit and Nut Granola to Asparagus Tart, Mexican Bean Tortilla to Coconut Rice Pudding, Mary gives us ideas for every meal, from breakfasts to Sunday roasts, and offers new twists on old classics like pancakes, and Shepherd's Pie.

As a working mother, Mary is perfectly placed to write a contemporary vegetarian cookbook - good food, cooked well and with ease, for all the family. And as a photographer she has a unique vision - her pictures are a glorious accompaniment to her mouth-watering food.

Review

Mary's book combines smart, achievable recipes with her own gorgeous food photography. I think it's absolutely divine (Rachel Allen )

This is a jewel of a book - gorgeous recipes that beg to be eaten! (Sophie Dahl )

The very best food is domestic, enriched with the love of growing, cooking and eating with family and friends. Food celebrates and inspires such meals, and photographed with Mary's intimate and elegant eye, is a delicious book (Monty Don )

McCartney's Food is an intimate peek into the family's kitchen table - the culmination of tried-and-tested recipes cooked by three generations of women (Telegraph Magazine )

Filled with warmth, personality and style.irresistible (Easy Living )

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful book 20 May 2012
By Bea11
Format:Hardcover
One of the best cook books I own now. I received it as a gift from a grateful and hungry friend who had unexpectedly come home and I made the courgettes and spaghetti. It's simple, made with ingredients I had in my store cupboard and fridge and it tasted sublime. I got the recipe from the FTweekend magazine. I normally cook Indian vegetarian food and haven't made any of my usual stuff for the past week. I have not stopped cooking from this book and it has become something of an obsession. Yes the coconut rice pudding takes a lot longer than the stipulated 15 minutes. That's a minor quibble, according to me. What matters is the unfussy, simple, easy to follow recipes, with which you are able to lay out wholesome delicious food. The photographs are gorgeous as well. It is a great book to own as well as give as gifts. This is the best 10 £ gift I have ever received.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!! 14 May 2012
Format:Hardcover
If like me you're trying to cut down on meat but always get stuck for vegetarian recipes which are quick and easy to make and taste delicious....this is the book for you! I made the butternut squash soup and the cheese & aubergine bake for friends at the weekend and they all devoured it. Similarly the sweetcorn fritters are ridiculously moreish so be warned. These really are simple easy recipes, simply explained and all accompanied by mouthwateringly gorgeous photographs. This is one book which won't be gathering dust!

5.0 out of 5 stars Non agressive vegtarianism 13 May 2012
By AKA
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a graphic designer, I always go by the adage 'Always judge a book by it's cover'. Shallow, and crass, I know, but it nearly always is true when choosing cookbooks.
This one does not disappoint. The recipes are simple, and plain to understand, and go a long way towards recognising that vegetarian meals do not equal bland experiences.
I eat fish and meat, and really see in this cookbook that, if done well, one would not miss meat and fish if the right vegetarian dish was cooked and delivered.
I own about 30 cookbooks, but this is the first one that I have actually used, word for word. Try it. Corn fritters a must.
