DGD has become a vegetarian

I agree about the mince.It is totally acceptable to non veggies as well and contains so much less fat than meat.

Some people don't like the idea of Quorn. DH would not countenance it at all until we had lunch with a friend who used it in a dish in place of mince and didn't tell him what it was until he'd eaten it. He told her it was very nice. I asked him afterward whether he had just been being polite (he has been known to eat things that are anathema to him when she has served them, but would not dream of telling her he didn't like them!). He said he found it more palatable than minced beef. So now, when DD comes, I can make a shepherd's pie for all of us instead of having to faff about making two different ones.

Stella14 is correct, the proper Quorn products are very good. I had a veggie friend from the US come to stay and I made cottage pies, pasta bolognaise, chilli con carne, etc with it and I liked it, too. But do ask as some people who go veggie may not want the traditional dishes any longer.

Veggie stir frys are good, too. I just added the chicken or prawns to our share. Cashews are a good filler in a stir fry.
Open topped omelettes/frittatas chock full of veggies and topped with grated cheese or Philly Cream cheese blobs then flashed in the oven to puff up are tasty, too. Less stodgy than a quiche for me. We try to have one or two meatless dinners a week, the other days are fish or chicken. Only one day of pork or red meat.

Try looking for a recipe for Haloumi Goulash (it's online) It's delicious and enjoyed by veggie and non veggie alike.

QUORN, its a life saver, plus veg chilli, veg lasagna. its not to hard to cook and you may find out you like the idea too.

I use a lot of quorn, it can be used in exactly the same way as meat with less fat. You might want to add some herbs or pepper as it has less flavour but quorn mince makes good lasagne and Bolognese
