After several months of reviewing recipes, it was down to three finalists in the competition to choose one tasty, original vegetarian dish to be included in the Linda McCartney Foods frozen entree line.

Those three finalists starred in their own commercials that were aired during ITV1’s This Morning Show, cooking their dishes and asking viewers to vote for them.

In the end, between Kate Ford’s hearty mushroom, ale and puy lentil pie, Susan Edward’s butternut squash and spinach lasagne and Robert Stordy’s vegetarian moussaka, only one was chosen to be included in the food line.

Watch Paul McCartney himself announce the winning dish, which will hit the stores in August, below.

Dr. Neal Barnard

“I was assisting in autopsies, and we’d opened up the chest of a man who had died of a heart attack. Later, I went to the cafeteria and they were serving ribs for lunch, and the smell of it and the look of it really got me. It made me think about what I was really eating.”

—Dr. Neal Barnard, Founder and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), on what motivated him to go vegetarian, then vegan. When Barnard saw the amount of fat around the man’s ribs, it was clear he’d eaten a lot of saturated fat, the kind of fat found primarily in animals products, during his lifetime.

The PCRM advocates a vegan diet for health. Besides being published in several medical journals, Dr. Barnard is the author of several books promoting a vegan diet, including 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart and Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook.
