Mary McCartney Serves It Up on New Discovery+ Series As She Prepares Delicious Dishes With Friends

British photographer and cookbook author Mary McCartney invites audiences into her London kitchen on Thursday, February 4th as she prepares delicious, accessible, and picture perfect meals with her celebrity friends on the new discovery+ series Mary McCartney Serves It Up. In each of the six half-hour episodes, Mary shares her sincere love of cooking and her family's favorite recipes and the stories behind them, showcasing her accessible vegetarian food philosophy for all to enjoy. In each episode, Mary will be joined by her famous friends, at home and over video conference, to celebrate food and friendship with transatlantic cook-alongs, taste-tests, cocktail classes and fun food Q&As. From easy dinners to comforting eats, moreish modern meals, and scrumptious desserts, Mary serves up incredible eats proving every day and special occasions can be vege-licious.

"I'm honored to be launching my new show on Discovery's amazing new streaming service. With the help of a few friends, I want to show that meat free eating can be varied, delicious and accessible to everyone," said Mary McCartney. "The recipes are simple, easy and rewarding. I can't wait for you to be able to join me and my super talented guests for food and fun."

It's good food and great company on every episode, from Maple Vodka Grilled Peaches with Kate Hudson, Meatless Marinara Sub Sandwiches with Mark Ronson, and Deluxe Hash Brown Skillet piled high with spicy beans and delicious fixings for brunch with Cameron Diaz and Nicole Richie. But no brunch is complete without a cocktail, so the ladies show Mary their special take on a spritzer. Plus, Liv Tyler is Mary's official nachos taste tester, and Dave Grohl teaches Mary the secret to his legendary lasagna, while she makes Smokey Dogs and a chef's salad with homemade dressing to round out the meal. Mary also arranges a food delivery for a virtual party with Gayle King, who famously doesn't cook, filled with Sticky Crispy Cauliflower Bites, Pea & Mint Dip, and Roasted Tomato & Butterbean Toasts. Together they mix up a delicious mocktail, to toast to their friendship and to sharing a delicious meal.

"Mary McCartney serves up a passion for cooking, a unique culinary perspective showcased with every mouthwatering meal, and a love for connecting with friends over good food which is at the core of every episode," said Courtney White, President, Food Network.
