Book description
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.
Mary McCartney grew up with a love for vegetarian cooking, worked
with her mother on her range of vegetarian cookbooks and has been a
consultant on the brand for Linda McCartney Foods for over a decade.
Mary has an active role in the food development team and sees the
product all the way through, from tasting and developing the samples
to overseeing the images for the packaging.
Mary is also an acclaimed photographer and has shot editorial and
campaigns around the world for clients such as Harpers,
Vanity Fair, Mandarin Oriental, Adidas and Boucheron.
Mary's photography book, From Where I Stand, a retrospective
look at her photographic work to date, was published in 2010.
