I dont know if you're this keen, but even if you arent vegetarian it is a cook book that everyone should have. It has lots of starter ideas and explains vego cooking for the uninitiated and 'But dont you just eat the same thing but without the meat??' types.

it only lists second hand ones there but my local Borders carries it and has for years..

potatoes, tomato, mustard seeds and corriander is very nice. you cook the seeds first so that they birst, then add parboiled potatoes, onions, tomatoes and finally lots of fresh corriander and serve with crusty bread. its simple, takes 20 minutes and tastes great. also add some turmeric to it if you like.

curry is also a good way to go.

I had a soy burger once.....it wasn't good.

Mmmmmmmm.

big mushrooms stuffed with fresh thyme, corriander, garlic, pepper, and butter, then covered with foil and baked in a dish for about 30 to 40 mins are wonderful as a starter..

Thanks for the ideas all, keep 'em coming.

Peanut Butter + Bread

I could post here over and over and over.. Witi small breaks to make some of the food i'm talking about.

If you're feeding "vegetarians" and normal people, cook a big beef and ale stew.

You just need to fish out the lumps of the meat before serving for the "vegetarians".

No need to cook two meals.

Let me know how it goes.

ew.
