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.”
