5The Meat Free Monday Cookbook also proves how simple it is to eat less meat by including irresistible vegetarian menus for every week of the year - two main dishes, plus four other ideas for each meal of the day
The Meat Free Monday Campaign, launched by Paul, Mary and Stella 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 proved 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. 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, The Meat Free Monday Cookbook includes contributions from Paul, Mary and Stella, as well as from celebrity and chef supporters, such as Skye Gyngell, Giorgio Locatelli, Yotam Ottolenghi, Kevin Spacey and Vivienne Westwood. It really is the perfect recipe book for anyone who cares about their health, the environment and seriously delicious food. www.meatfreemondays.com @MeatFreeMonday
