Mary McCartney is a photographer, filmmaker, TV cook, and author. In Feeding Creativity, she blends her passions for food and photography, cooking 60 of her favourite recipes for friends, family, musicians, actors, artists, and visionaries. Mary makes each a specially prepared dish, which they eat together at their home or studio. Here, she shares her photographs, recipes, and anecdotes from those culinary encounters.

Mary caters for every eating occasion on her culinary voyage, from enjoying sheet pan pancakes with Cameron Diaz for breakfast to sharing globe artichoke appetisers with HAIM. She prepares an onion, pea, and spinach tart for lunch at David Hockney's LA studio and savours smokey dogs at home with Woody Harrelson. She meets Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road Studios with a roasted and toasted salad, makes a rainbow sprinkle cake for afternoon tea with Jeff Koons, and much more.

Feeding Creativity is a toast to easy and delicious plant-based food and a celebration of culinary conviviality.
