Vegetarian Recipes, Vegetarian Meals

The commonly accepted idea is that a vegetarian prefers not to eat any meat or poultry. I have however found that some vegetarians do eat; fish and/or shellfish and some dairy products. If you are cooking for vegetarian friends it's worth asking a few direct questions if you want to serve them what they want rather than what you think they want. Many people prefer not to eat anything that contains living creatures that have been killed to consume.

Some people that call themselves vegetarians (albeit a minority) and will happily eat eggs from caged hens or swallow live oysters but won't touch meat. Fish eating vegetarians if such a thing isn't a contradiction in terms may call themselves pescatarian.

Some people (often Buddhists) will eat whatever you offer them although they may prefer not to eat a 'sentient being' that has been killed. If you are catering for large numbers it's easiest to have vegan food to cover most basis.

The recipes below don't include meat but may have fish, shellfish or dairy products!
