The King of promoting a vegetarian lifestyle for Britain, the U.S. and the rest of the world, Paul McCartney, has compiled a list of his favorite recipes to help promote his campaign by enticing every meat eater’s taste buds,  the Meat Free Monday Cookbook.

From the publisher:

“Often, though, our vegetarian repertoire is limited, with the result that our enthusiasm to continue with a meat-free day wanes when we are confronted with yet again eating the same dish. With menus for each of the 52 weeks of the year – two main recipes, plus four other ideas for each meal of the day – The Meat Free Monday Cookbook addresses this problem and is aimed at everyone who cares about the environment, is happy to eat vegetarian one day a week, but needs inspiration and guidance to do so.”

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.

Paul McCartney has voiced his support for a campaign to end the sale of cosmetics in the European Union that have been tested on animals.

The EU has already banned cosmetic testing on animals. And the ban to sale such cosmetics was originally scheduled to take place in 2013, but some officials want the ban delayed.

McCartney and other celebrities are using the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection’s (BUAV) campaign in hopes of convincing officials to adhere to the timeline.

“Animals should not suffer in the name of beauty,” McCartney said. “Testing toiletries and cosmetics on animals is cruel and unnecessary. Join me in signing the BUAV’s petition to ensure the sale of cruel products in the EU is outlawed by 2013. Say NO to Cruel Cosmetics.”
