There are lots of free recipes on line, but here is as good a place as any.

It would depend upon what your current preference in food types are, Easy if you like Indian food as the hind is a national of vegetarians. Lots of basic Italian food is vegetarian and we add meat for our versions.

Good decision for your health, finance and the planet hope it is agreeable to your way of life and if you give a pointer to preference will try and find a few ideas

😀 😀 Price and packaging did for the cauliflower 'steak'

but really the vegetarian stuff you buy in the shops is dull and often flavourless.

We've got some of those Vivera vegan steaks from Tesco. Not tried them yet but they're meant to be good. I find it's easier being vegetarian this time as I no longer crave or miss meat.

Morning @ianbeswick! There are a few veggie recipes on my food blog, so feel free to have a look around (some of the others can be adapted too) & I've just published my latest vegetable recipe, so here's the link:

@frenchielove might be a good person to ask too. I would say try lots of different things, get creative in the kitchen & enjoy! 🙂

PS: FYI figs are NOT vegetarian (google it).

figs are vegetarian.!! Some people have fears that they may contain the remains of fig wasps that burrow into the fruits but it is one of those things that if you apply those standards rigorously then many vegetables would be discounted on the grounds of the risk of some insect or insect larvae that could possibly have entered into the edible part of the fruit or vegetable. Which is a world away humans intentionally killing some animal or insect and using it or any portion of it in combination with a vegetable or dairy product.

The fig wasps thing is more a matter of sensibilities and many a meat eating person would find the idea of wasps or wasp remnants in their figs off putting if they dwelt on it

Thanks for the PM @ianbeswick will be sending some links over for you. We love Quorn but I know it doesn’t suit some people, we eat pasta and rice, nut burgers, nut loaf, most supermarkets do their own range, it is so much easier today than it was when I started over thirty years ago. Masses of fruits and veg, salads, lovely hearty soups and stews, pulses, tofu, cheeses. Lots of luck

I make a great vege bolognese using frozen

Pick your biggest pot and start by frying a chopped up onion in a little oil then add:

chopped up mushrooms;

if you like them, chopped olives;

a can of plum tomatoes;

a can of kidney beans.

I also add some fresh thyme, a few bayleaves and some browning. Finally add the Quorn and cook down to the consistency you like. I serve with pasta or rice and can get about five servings from this one pot.
