Mary McCartney: 'Food' and Family
The Photographer on Her Mum, Vegetarian Myths and Why She Will Never Be
Martha Stewart
Mary McCartney takes one look at me and begins dictating her favorite
breakfast smoothie recipe: one banana, a tablespoon of milled flax seeds, one
cup of rice milk, a small tablespoon of superfood powder and a scoop of whey
protein. "That way, you will be set up for the day," she says, regarding
me in a maternal, slightly concerned fashion. "I mean, when did you last
eat?"
I have known McCartney for 15 years. She shot her first fashion pictures
for me when I was editor at Frank magazine in 1998, to accompany the diary
her sister Stella wrote about putting together her first collection for the
fashion brand Chloé. Over the years, as her fame as a photographer has
grown, we have worked together on various projects. Now, as working mums on the
same school run, we continue to bump into each other, occasionally stopping
to chat and compare teenage-boy war stories. McCartney last year gave
birth to her fourth child—her second son with film director Simon Aboud; she
has two others with former husband Alistair Donald.
This month, the 42-year-old launched her cookbook "Food," inspired by the
memory, cooking methods and recipes of her beloved mother, the late Linda
McCartney. Mary has been a consultant on her mother's brand Linda McCartney
Foods for over a decade
My mum was a rock 'n' roll cook. She cooked more on instinct than by
measuring. She appreciated food. She would never, for example, have eaten a Mars
bar when she could eat really good chocolate.
For mum, the kitchen was the social hub. She always liked people coming in
and hanging out with her while she cooked. I'm the same. I like to cook
for a reason—mainly for the kids, or if I have friends coming over.
My parents would challenge each other to cook great veggie meals. My dad
was always saying: Right, well, if I'm no longer eating meat, then what can
we eat that is as delicious? He is a northern guy, and everything at that
time revolved around the meat on the plate. It still does, I think, as
opposed, for example, to Italy, where meat is just an ingredient, not the
main constituent of a meal.
There's a preconception that veggie food is complicated and
time-consuming. I wanted to dispel that. I like to spend about 30 minutes or less on a
recipe, and I use ingredients that are easily obtainable.
My mum never wore an apron when she cooked, and neither do I. When I look
back on her style, I think of it as easy and cool. The kitchen was no
different to anywhere else in terms of how she dressed. I think if you are
relaxed, it comes through in your cooking. I will admit, though, that having a
mum who wore weird stuff and argyle socks was kind of embarrassing when I
was at school.
My boys cook with me. I learned so much from my mum about where food comes
from and how to prepare it; I figure they will do the same. Plus, they are
much more likely to eat it if they have had a hand in preparing it.
I always said no to writing a book because it's not my arena. I'm a people
person, which is why I'm a photographer—I like to tell a story with
pictures not words. Writing is too much like homework. But then, because I
support Meat Free Mondays and I wanted to illustrate to people that veggie food
can be interesting and easy, I agreed. When the book first arrived, I looked
at it and thought: Now, this is why I did it.
Actually, I finally said yes to the book because my husband pitched the
idea to me. He has an advertising background, so he's very persuasive. He
pitched the idea of us having this recent baby, too.
Food carries with it so many memories of my family. My sister does the
same thing with clothes that I do with food. When I look at Stella's
collections, I see a bit of my mum's boho and vintage influence and some of my
American grandfather's seersucker, lawyer-suits vibe. When I go to watch
Stella's runway shows, I feel very nostalgic.
I read a recent review of my book and it said, "nice pictures, but I bet
she didn't come up with the recipes." I was like, What!?, because I came up
with all the recipes, which were really what I grew up with but healthier—
my mum used a lot of cream. I try to enhance what I already know and love,
and make it indulgent but good for you.
I tried to treat the food I was photographing like I would the portrait of
a person. There was no food varnishing on my shoots—I didn't even have a
prop stylist. It was manic. I was making the food, then putting it onto or
into vintage-y plates and bowls, then sticking it somewhere like a
windowsill and framing the shot.
As a family, we have bad memories of chargrilled vegetables and couscous,
which was traditionally all that
was on offer in restaurants in the '70s if you were vegetarian.
Consequently, neither appears in my book or on my table—ever!
Everything that surrounds food is really complicated. There's so much
shame attached to what we eat and guilt about what we weigh. I think
celebrating good, healthy food is part of the answer. Wouldn't it be interesting if
every person in the country could have a therapy session about how they feel
about food?
I have a very clear memory of the first time food changed my mood. I was
having a bad day and my aunt took me out, and I had a grilled cheese
sandwich, chips and a milkshake. I remember realizing afterward that the meal had
actually made me feel better.
My step-grandmother on my mum's side taught me to bake. She was French and
a little scary—always saying things like: Children do not run in the
apartment. But when I got older, we became friends through cooking. She taught
me the value of measuring things and of having an oven thermometer. Those
two things are fundamental to my cooking today
My dad loves home baking, and I think there's a link between my interest
in food and making people happy. I love it if everyone eats everything on
their plate.
You can tell a good restaurant by the excellence of their vegetarian
dishes or menu. I like Raymond Blanc's Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, E&O in Notting
Hill, Le Caprice and Scott's—places with a nice ambience.
I'm a huge fan of straightforward, chuck-it-all-in cooks like Nigel Slater
and Jamie Oliver, who celebrate food, and I detest anything complicated.
What's the deal with all that foamy, fiddly stuff?
I remember my childhood as very normal. We went to a comprehensive, where
we kept our heads down because we didn't want to be seen as different. We
ate at a certain time, did our homework and, every so often, we'd go on an
amazing trip somewhere that would remind us that our circumstances weren't
quite like everyone else's.
I think part of the reason my dad looks so good is that he eats properly.
He would never skip a meal. Often, if he's on his own, he will eat
something from my mum's range and make himself vegetables or a salad.
I'm not going to become a Martha Stewart. There are no books planned on
how my kitchen or home looks. I can't even remember the name of the cooker I
use, except to say that it's a double oven and it's good. I have been
approached a number of times about doing a cooking show for TV. My husband is
pitching me on that now, so we'll see what happens.
I'm obsessed by Amelia Rope—a chocolate range available at Liberty. It's
really expensive, so I eat a tiny bit at a time. I love the Pale Lime with
Sea Salt. [Also] Cire Trudon candles—again very expensive, so I don't buy
too many, but I
I like to be comfortable and practical, but stylish.... I want to be able
to walk wherever I go. I wear my sister Stella's clothes a lot, but never
the whole look. I mix everything up, which is what my mum did, so I'd wear
Stella's trousers with a vintage blouse, a nice knit cardi and flip-flops.
I wear Stella's L.I.L.Y. [standing for Linda I Love You], Penhaligon's
Bluebell and Agent Provocateur's Maitresse Gold, which my husband bought me.
I'm very inspired by my mum. She liked vintage—pretty tea dresses and nice
knits. I can't see a piece of neon clothing without thinking of her.

•Chopping boards in various sizes—I'm a Virgo, so I need to control the
size of everything that's chopped. Two large, wooden boards for veg and one
dedicated to fruit, so you don't get garlic or onion flavor on fruit.
