My daughter became vegetarian when 10yrs old I found it difficult then but now there are some good recipes online and choice in supermarket so no worries now

My daughter makes lots of Indian vegetarian meals in her house. They go down well with the children. Lots of lentil based curries with coconut milk. They are vegan (not by choice) as GS 2 has bowel problems and can't process dairy.

if she's not vegan you should be fine ,you can use cheese and eggs and come up with loads of things.Canned beans of all variety's make good chilli ,veggie lasagne is always popular ,mushrooms in a stroganoff sauce or with pasta ,vegetable stews served with good bread and rice pilafs are good one pot meals.I was veggie for around 15 years ,if you vary the diet its very healthy .Dont depend on just cheese on toast .You'll get loads of recipes online

She may well be staying with me this summer and I would love a recommendation for a cookbook for teenagers. There seem to be loads on Amazon but I really don't want to buy more than one. She has to cook for herself at home in the week and I would like to do a few recipes with her so that she has a varied diet.
