The host

What’s better than Uber Eats? A cook of her own – or at least a friend who knows her way around the stove and oven. So count yourself lucky if you can count Mary McCartney (yes, Paul and Linda’s first-born) among your clique. It’s something of a hobby of McCartney’s to swing the cooking spoon at her loved ones’ homes – unannounced, surprisingly and always in such quantities that nobody is guaranteed to go hungry. And because eating together is so much more than just eating, these encounters produce a lot of material that is now between two book covers. “Feeding Creativity” is a guest book, cookbook and photo book in one – and anyone who wants to know whose stomach Mary McCartney fills with roast-and-toast salad and whose with rainbow crumble cake would do well to turn the pages immediately.
