Summary

The Meat Free Monday Campaign, launched by Paul, Stella and Mary McCartney in 2009, has been a trailblazer and magazines, restaurants, hospitals, colleges, workplaces, celebrities, and entire communities have pledged their support. Furthermore, almost every health study published in recent years has proven that eating a more plant-based diet improves body weight, blood pressure and blood sugar and shows that having at least one meat-free day a week is essential for anyone wishing to enjoy a healthy life.

The Meat Free Monday Cookbook also proves how simple it is to eat less meat by including irresistable vegetarian menus for every week of the year - two main dishes, plus four other ideas for each meal of the day.

Packed with recipes such as Fruity Quinoa, Mexican Cornbread, Warm Halloumi, Apple and Radish Salad, Double Choc Crackle Cookies and Gingerbread Cake, as well as vibrant spring soups, inventive summer salads, appetising autumn bakes and comforting winter stews, it includes contributions from Paul and Stella, as well as from celebrity and chef supporters, such as Mario Battali, Yotam Ottolenghi, Kevin Spacey, Pink, and Woody Harrelson. It really is the perfect recipe book for anyone who cares about their health, the environment, and seriously delicious food.

Author Biography

Paul, Mary, and Stella McCartney launched Meat Free Monday, after reading a report that linked the meat industry with climate change and called it “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.” The family wanted to encourage people to have one day a week without meat as a way of “doing their bit” for the planet, thereby making a meaningful contribution to a more sustainable future.

With more and more scientific studies being published linking meat-eating with human diseases, ranging from cancer to diabetes, the campaign has opened up to promote the health benefits of eating less meat and more fruit and vegetables, as well as the financial benefits of reducing one's meat consumption —because plant-based proteins are typically cheaper than animal products.

Join Meat Free Monday and you'll see how “One day a week can make a world of difference”: to the planet, to your health, and to your wallet, too!
