Hi, just need some inspiration as hosting a lunch soon for vegetarian guests. Don't eat much meat myself but I can't think of anything special to make
Any ideas?

veggie carbonara with garlic pizza bread and green salad? you can make the pasta look special by making a circular hole in the middle, and adding the salad in there.

Caramelised onion and goat cheese tart with new potatoes and tenderstem is what I would do

Don't make anything with goats cheese without checking. I hate goats cheese but its in so many vegi options. Its such a strong flavour that you can't even take it off easily as it flavours everything around it.

Check out jamie oliver on Facebook he posts wonderful vegi recipes all the time. Ive have made a few of them recently.

Or spanakopita with a lovely Greek salad
Roasted vegetable lasagne or Spinach and ricotta lasagne

There is a Jamie Oliver recepie for Lincolnshire poacher pie which is sublime but quite labour intensive

Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini with butter, lemon and veggie hard cheese. Confit egg yolk gilds the lily if you want

-As an entree or buffet plate, I make Vietnamese summer rolls (lots of youtube videos on making them). I generally just add veg, so that are actually vegan and serve with a satay sauce.

  • veggie lasagne with salad/garlic bread
  • veggie pasta bake

Roasted butternut squash halves filled with freekah, roasted veg and feta.

Shakshuka with toasted pita.

Roasted sweet potatoes with lentils and chilli and green salad.

Or check out the deliciously ella app which has loads of lush stuff.

Vegetable paella as main, you could do some little Spanish tapas dishes as a starter served with dry sherry, and perhaps an almond & orange cake for pudding.

Or pasta primavera for a main course with a vegetable & bean soup to start with and a Sicilian lemon mousse for pudding.

Thanks all for your suggestions, that all sounds pretty good and point taken re: goats cheese

Sliced Korean vegetable omelettes. YouTube for recipes. Simple. Serve at room temperature.

The veggie option is always sodding pasta or pastry!
