Mary McCartney Debuts Vegetarian Cooking Show To Promote Plant-Based Recipes - Green Queen Media Posted: 08 Feb 2021 10:44 PM PST
3 Mins Read Animal activist, cookbook author, photographer and co-founder of the nonprofit Meat Free Monday, Mary McCartney has begun hosting her new vegetarian cooking show in partnership with the Food Network, a platform that shares cooking tips and recipes. McCartney recently launched the six part series, named 'Mary McCartney Serves It Up', to promote plant-based cooking and recipes among her audience. Animal activist, cookbook author, photographer and co-founder of the nonprofit Meat Free Monday, Mary McCartney has begun hosting her new vegetarian cooking show in partnership with Food Network, a platform that shares cooking tips and recipes. Available to watch on the streaming platform discovery+ (currently for US viewers/IP addresses only), McCartney has spent years sharpening her cooking skills, and with the new show, she is sharing her recipes with the world. Growing up in a vegetarian family, watching her mother, the photographer and animal rights activist Linda McCartney in the kitchen led Mary to develop a passion for cooking. Explaining her love for cooking only vegetarian meals, McCartney said: "I eat meat-free because of the environment and climate change, and animal welfare. The facts say that eating a plant-based diet is one of the most significant things you can do if you want to help the environmental impact."  For a while, McCartney wanted to film her cooking show but when the lockdown was imposed, she was't sure it would ever happen. However in June, Discovery+ asked her if she'd be interested to do a show and in July, they begun filming. In an interview with People, McCartney shares that the series was "put together through the lockdown, through the pandemic." 
The six part series will see her cooking dishes like turmeric tofu noodles, moreish mushroom salad cups, banoffee cheesecake, sticky crispy cauliflower bites, maple vodka grilled peaches and many more. McCartney will co-host with a coterie of plant-minded celebrities including Kate Hudson, Mark Ronson, Liv Tyler, Gayle King, Dave Grohl, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Richie. McCartney says she regularly cooked for her dad, legendary musician Paul McCartney, during lockdown, sharing that he was busy recording new music. "When we were in lockdown together, he was recording McCartney III, the album. He'd be recording in the studio, and then he'd come back, and he'd put it on in the kitchen and play it while I was heating up and finishing off dinner. That's probably the best case scenario for him, like having family around, listening to music, and having dinner served. He really is so great to cook for because he really appreciates home cooking." 
Highlighting that they are a sandwich-obssesed family, McCartney explains that her mother was a New Yorker, so they grew up on deli sandwiches. "You know when you go into a New York deli, and you just stack them high? Here in England, traditionally, it's a little bit different than that." In addition to the show, McCartney is working on a cookbook, tentatively called 'Feeding Creative', in which she hopes to prepare meals for creatives she looks up to and after they're done with their meals, click a portrait of them. She has also begun research for a self-directed documentary 'If These Walls Could Sing', about the history of Abbey Road Studios. In September of last year, a poll found that nearly 60% of the American public are now transitioning to a flexitarian or plant-based diet. Other surveys conducted earlier last year, showed that there is a massive interest globally to transition to a plant-based diet or switching out animal products for plant based alternatives as a direct result of the pandemic.

The best delivery services for vegetarians - Huron Daily Tribune Posted: 08 Feb 2021 02:58 PM PST 
New Purple Carrot shoppers can get $20 off their first order with promo code PURPLE20 New Purple Carrot shoppers can get $20 off their first order with promo code PURPLE20 You might not believe it, but there is a way to make your vegetarian diet easier and avoid the grocery store. Meal delivery services have taken off in the last few years and now you can not only get vegetarian meals, you can get vegetarian meals that actually have some kick. Because meal kits and delivery services always seem to be on sale, each service on this list currently has some type of promotion running.
Purple Carrot's gimmick is that you can pick a meal kit that is plant-based, but "your way." You can get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus snack foods as well. The company markets that they send the exact amount of ingredients you need, which might be a dig at some other meal prep delivery services. You can opt for 2 meals or 4 meals a week, with the option to select the meals you're going to cook at checkout. You can even preview the weekly menu to see if the options for that week fit your taste. New shoppers can get $20 off their first order with promo code PURPLE20 at checkout.
To get simple recipes with healthy ingredients, you can take Hungryroot's quiz to find the meals for you. The quiz will ask how many people you're feeding (one, two, or 3+), what your goals are (losing weight, saving money, eating more plants), and what your dietary restrictions might be. The quiz even asks how you eat your meals, e.g. do you snack all morning, have no breakfast, or a full meal? For a limited time, you can get 40% off your first order and a free gift in every order for "life." You can opt for Green Chef's vegetarian & vegan plans to make your meals plant-based. When picking your plan, you can opt for three or four meals per week. While you can't pick your meals, you can look through their weekly menu to see what is likely to be in your next box. Get $90 off (spread out through your first four boxes) and free shipping.
For the people who want to eat plant-based, but do not want to actually cook the meal, Splendid Spoon is the best option for you. You can get breakfast and lunch meals that are ready-to-eat. You can browse the company's menu to see if their meal options fit your personal taste. The breakfast offerings include fun smoothies like mango guava and dragon fruit berry. Right now, you can get up to $60 off your first three orders.
Sun Basket is not a vegetarian or vegan specific meal service, but the company lets you customize, so you can choose to get meals from their vegetarian selections. This is a roll of the dice though, as you're selecting the number of meals you want, the number of people you're feeding, and then the meal preference (vegetarian). Sun Basket then sends you your meals. It can push you out of your comfort zone, instead of picking the same foods over and over again. You'll get $35 off your first order, plus free shipping.  |
