Review
'The vast majority of people are conscientious and would want to do something in their own lives to help secure a happier future for the generations that follow. Whilst many suggestions offered can be quite difficult to put into practice, the idea of one meat-free day per week is something that many people find do-able and something that, with the help of this book, can be achieved relatively easily.' from the foreword by Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney
'For those meat eaters who can't think how to cook without it, this will help and inspire.' The Independent
'Here the newlywed Beatle opens his private cookbook to share some surprisingly exotic dishes.' The Times
'Go meat-free with the McCartneys' Vegetarian Living
'One of the most sensible campaigns of the past few years was Meat Free Monday. Launched by the McCartney family, it asked us to consider one day per week without meat. The Meat Free Monday Cookbook is equally appetising, filled as it is with wonderful recipes.' --Tom Parker Bowles

Format:Hardcover
We are trying to eat less meat, mainly to keep costs down and I thought this would be a good book to help with this. It does have some good ideas and I quite like the layout which gives you a whole days eating plan per week, with meat free suggestions for both packed and home lunches as well as recipies for tea. And some of the home lunches would work well for light evening meals as well. It isn't laid out like a usual cookery book and some of the recipies are more guidelines than actual recipies. I feel that a lot of the meals and ideas would require some planning and shopping to ensure that you had the ingredients and feel it's not really the sort of book you would use for after work/school meals (and perhaps not so good if your aim is to cut costs by reducing meat). However, it would be good if you had to make a vegetarian meal for visitors say and you wanted to do something slightly more adventurous or unusual. Also the fact that it groups recipies into seasons is good - meat eater or not!. If you want a more everyday meat free cookbook then I would go for River Cottage Everyday Veg book, but this book is good if you have a bit more time.

This is not your basic vegetarian cookbook. For someone looking for plain veggie meals to subsitute meaty ones, this is probably not it. It would have been very easy to throw together the usual carb-and-cheese loaded recipes, the same lentil bolognese, that fill so many other books. I am so thankful it is not that book.
This book is CRAMMED with recipes - a breakfast, packed lunch, lunch, snack / side dish, dinner and dessert for every Monday of the year. Beautifully divided into season, so you have refreshing meals for summer and heartier fare for winter, they all look delicious. Finally I have found a cookbook that actually does inspiring things with a vegetarian diet - some of my favourite recipes so far:
Sweet potato gnocci with rocket pesto
Spring vegetable stew
Fibre breakfast muffins
Spinach tart
Double choc crackle cookies (so divine)
Sicilian caulifower pasta
Mexican cornbread
Quesadillas with avocado, soured cream and salsa
Aubergine parmagiana
Lentil stew with pan-fried halloumi and pomegranate
Paella verduras
warm halloumi, apple and radish salad
roasted butternut squash and marrow
Baba ganoush
aubergine, potato and pepper stew
lentil, chickpea, cheddar and onion burgers (BEST veggie burgers ever)
Vegetarian sheperd's pie (so much better than Delia's)
...I could go on.
The book is beautifully designed, admittedly because there are SO many recipes they are neatly laid out in a smallish font - but if you have problems reading them, you probably need to go see your optician. Pictures throughout are beautiful, and for what could easily have been a gimmicky celebrity-led book, the celebrity presence is incredibly low - no photos of Paul wielding a potato masher - the McCartney family instead letting the gorgeous food take centre stage. Truly wonderful.

I bought 4 of them, 1 for myself and the rest are gifts to friends/family member hopefully they'll eat less meat -- like other McCartney's fans.
I just flicked through and I would think the recipes would be easy to follow. However, while I was turning the pages, I decided to go back to P1 and count the number of pic of fresh (raw) fruits & veggies. There are around 40 pages (or more - 1 pic per page). The pictures look beautiful but I wish there are less - 1/4 of the whole book is enough.
And I wish there would be A LOT MORE photos of the dishes.
I check out the pictures; how the fresh ingredients turn out to be like, how to decorate the dish/garnish the meal, etc.
Pictures (of the dishes) help make food look appetising - not those of raw cauliflower, artichoke, cabbage, etc.
The layout looks nice but the font size is tiny. I was about to give one to my uncle but I think he will need a magnifying glass.
