My son is a veggie and I make a veggie bake.Cauliflower,broccoli,courgette,.( any veg really).Cook the veg first and then bung it in a pyrex dish,put a couple of halved hard boiled eggs on top,pour over a nice thick cheese sauce,sprinkle with paprika or breadcrumbs and bake in the oven until golden brown on top.

Mushroom quiche. You make it just the same as conventional - and I guess we all have our own recipe for that - but pack it full of mushrooms (and some onions) that have been cooked in butter first. It's really lovely. Also do the same with peppers if you fancy something with a bit of 'zing'.

Cauliflower cheese is nice. You can also add carrots, peppers, leeks, onions or any other vegetable you like for variety.

Have a look at any of Rose Elliot's books, tasty, easy to cook, popular, and you don;t have to go to some little French market to find the ingredients, Tesco's will do fine.

We particularly like the sweetcorn flan and the continental lentil shepherds' pie ( yes really!)

"Not Just a Load of Old Lentils" was such a good title I had to read it! "The Bean Book" is very good too.

Try Delia's 'Vegetarian Collection' published by the BBC.  I find her a wee bit irritating on the telly but she has some fab recipes.

I agree with solarjunkie. I think Rose Elliott is the Queen of Veggie Food (except for her crap recipe for vegetarian paella!!).

Our households favourite recipe is mushrooms baked with lentils and cheese, contains Marmite so very savoury.

I strongly recommend The Cranks Bible ed. Nadine Abensur - better than Delia et al.

One of my favourite recipes from it is: Puy lentils boiled in just enough water, lemon, garlic, onion, tamari and tabasco.  When they are done fish out all the garlic etc, add more tamri and tabasco to taste, and mix with cooked spinach.  Serve as a bed for grilled goat's cheese and roasted cherry tomatoes.

I know somebody who cooks something called Homity Pie, which is a quiche base filled with some boiled potatoes and covered in cheese and herbs and stuff. Dunno the exact recipe but you'll find it online somewhere.

I am a life-long vegetarian.  One thing that is often overlooked by those catering for veggies is vegetarian gravy, Bisto and Marmite based is mine.  Savoury pasta sauces etc. are nice in their way not the same.  My favourite dinner is as a Sunday roast but without the roast, just whatever accompanying vegetables the other guests are having. but with veggie gravy.  That way the veggie can havethe same as others at the table, except for the special gravy.  Extra roast potatoes, or Yorkshire pudding can be put on, as your veggie guest will probably fall on them.  A trimming for the vegetarian is a baked tomato, baked slices of onion etc. and lot of gravy available.  I don't think people appreciate that even the nicest of veg. retain heat for a shorter time than does meat, and that because of the lack of fat they become difficult to swallow if they are minus the gravy.  It is nice if one gets a bit extra ldone specially ike a cheese or mornay sauce dish, but the main dinner is really enough.  My next favourites are any cheese or mornay sauce dishes - Califlower cheese, macaroni cheese (normal macaroni - quite different from the big quills for Italian dishes).  Any baked dishes or roasted veg. give the extra savoury flavour that is lacking in a lot of veggie stuff.

 shaneystar has got the right idea for everyday, when you don't have time to get involved in special recipe-following. Don't forget 'eye appeal' too. A 'white' dish needs a side portion of , say,carrots and lots of parsley.   One local self-serve restaurant used to put strands of spinach in with the macaroni for macaroni cheese - splendid idea, the dark green nourishing spinach showing here and there, with a good lot of browned cheese on top.  Alas it is no more.

Another good one is veggie toad.Make a normal yorkshire pud batter.Roast veg in the oven.Usual things,green peppers,onions,courgette ,toms,pour the batter mix over and when it's cooked serve with creamy mash,peas and veggie gravy.My son loves this.Actually it looks so nice I may become a veggie myself !!I I have to be inventive as hubbie is a meat and two veg man and I don't have time to faff around cooking different meals for each person !
