Vegetarian Cookery

The UK Vegetarian Society’s ˚Cordon Vert school has created a brand new cookery course inspired by recipes from Linda McCartney’s On Tour cookbook. Paul and Linda McCartney became patrons of the Vegetarian Society in 1995 and Sir Paul has given the course the thumbs up.

Sir Paul said, ‘It’s fabulous to see a course inspired by Linda and her recipes, which will in turn, hopefully, inspire cooks of the future. Those of us in her family are very proud that the Vegetarian Society has chosen to honour Linda in this way. We all wish you the very best of luck.’

The new Inspired by Linda McCartney course will be launched at the Cheshire school’s open day for catering colleges and students on 19 March. The courses themselves are scheduled this year for 22 May, 8 August and 4 October. Visit www.cordonvert.co.uk to find out more.

Head Tutor at ˚Cordon Vert, Christine Tilbury, said, “It would be difficult not to be inspired by Linda’s vegetarian legacy and I found her recipes fantastic – simple and delicious - the way all recipes should be! The inspiration just goes on and on.”

Recipes will include Linda’s Tomato Soup, Wasabi Pea Fritters, Savoury Mille Feuilles, Italian Artichoke Pie with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts, Baby Spinach and Rocket Salad followed by Pecan, Pistachio, Dried Berry and Lemon Macaroons.

The ˚Cordon Vert School has an unrivalled reputation for excellent and innovative vegetarian cuisine, drawing on a variety of international flavours and ingredients reflecting current trends in world cuisine, with fresh and imaginative ideas.Courses run throughout the year and are taught by ˚Cordon Vert’s team of highly qualified and enthusiastic tutors.
