'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
'offers tantalising veggie menus for every week of the year' --Sarah Stacey, You Magazine

About the authors

Since writing his first song at the age of 14, Paul McCartney’s career has been impossibly prolific and singularly influential. In the 1960s, Paul changed the world forever with The Beatles. He didn’t stop there, and has continued to push boundaries, as a solo artist, with Wings, and collaborating with numerous world-renowned artists. He has received 18 Grammys, and in 1996 was knighted by H.M. The Queen for his services to music.
Paul is a dedicated philanthropist, passionately advocating for many causes including animal rights and environmental issues. He's also a very proud grandfather.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2016My wife is a vegetarian, I am not. I wanted to find more meals that we could eat together (Im a very fussy eater) and Meat Free Mondays seemed like a good way to 'force' my self to eat less meat.
The book is devoded into 4 seasons so many of the recipes take advantage of seasonal veg. All the recipies include a short description, ingredient list and easy to follow method. We have followed the dinner recipe every week for a few months now and have yet to be disappointed, many of the meals we will definitely make again.
Im still no vegetarian but I am eating a much healthier diet and Im much less reliant on meat too.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2013This is one of my best favourite books!
I have tried lots of recipes in this book and they are all delicious and easy to make.
All cakes and puddings are really mouth watering.
Above all in this book you can find really NEW IDEAS and through it you can discover lots of new ingredients, flavours and tastes.
REALLY RECCOMENDED and not only for vegetarians... Try the meat free burger, it will satisfy also the best meat eater!
THANX A LOT FOR THIS IDEA TO ALL THE MCCARTNEY FAMILY!!!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 December 2013This book has a lot of really nice recipes, and suggests a whole day menu for one day of the week each year. I use a lot of the recipes, which are really tasty, economical and easy to produce. Of course, you can mix and match the recipes, which is what I do and from being a regular meat eater, I am almost wholly vegetarian now.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2019Great ideas for meat free meals. There are loads of recipes for the whole day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The ingredients are listed within the recipe, which could be a drawback for some, but it does make you read through the whole recipe before starting to cook, which is usually a good thing! I can see me using the recipes a lot, not just on Mondays! I like this book a lot.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2015Really enjoy Paul's and Stella's Meat Free Monday Cookbook.... already tried different receipts, it's really much fun to cook them, I specially always think to Paul cooking them and then tasting them... Love the way it's written, the presentation, beautifull pictures... Last sunday, I cooked for the second time the "spinach tart " for my family, so delicious ! ... Well, now I enjoy one meat free day in the week ! THANK YOU TO PAUL, MARY AND STELLA !...
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 October 2022The book arrived in perfect condition. A great vegetarian cookbook with easy to follow recipes
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2016The gimmick behind this book is to put a picture of Paul, Stella, and Mary McCartney on the back cover and claim them to be the authors of this book. They are not. They may have introduced the concept of meat-free Mondays, and they have contributed a forward and a few recipes to the book, but that is it. The rest are just a compilation of various recipes, with a few celebrity ones thrown in. If you are buying it because of them, then don't.
The book is filled with beautiful photos, but most are just vegetables. What a waste! I want to see what the food looks like. Although I will admit that the few food pictures do look appetizing and make you want to try them.
The book itself is a great idea-to provide breakfast, lunch (even packed lunches!), a side or snack, supper and dessert for every Monday of the year. It makes planning menus really simple and the days are divided by seasons so you never have to worry you won't find something in the grocery. That said, however, I had a very hard time finding anything in this cookbook I or my family would actually eat. I have a large family with seven kids and was hoping to find some non-meat meals to cut food costs at home, but very few of these recipes seem kid-friendly. Some are mundane and don't need recipes, like avocado on toast, but most are just too exotic. What, for example, is mafalda corta? And pappardelle with cavolo nero really had me baffled. Of course, in today's day and age you can easily look these things up, but personally I want a cookbook with ingredients that are easily accessible and won't break the bank. Just too many of these recipes were with foods that my kids wouldn't touch. Adults who are more adventurous eaters might enjoy it though.
The desserts look doable and worth trying and there is an occasional stir-fry or pasta dish that might work, but given that I have five growing boys at home, a lot of these recipes don't seem filling for supper. A salad won't be enough for them. Again, this book is not a complete waste and may inspire those die-hard vegetarian couples, but I think most average people will just find this book too strange. I'd really only recommend with some hesitation and only if you have a lot of patience to go searching for the ingredients.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2024Excellent condition and wonderful service from World of Books - many thanks.
