      On a more serious note...

      I like to keep things simple... Let the true flavours of the veg shine through...

      Sounds a bit of a cliche but you can't beat a good old Caprese salad when in Italy. So speaks a man who thought he didn't like tomatos

      The secret to a good homemade pizza sauce is to add a few drops green tabasco (seriously.. try it)

      While i'm on the green tabasco front... Veggie chilli. One of the few times I use 'fake flesh' (quorn mince). Works great bulked out with a can of chickpeas. Finish with a squirt of tomato ketchup for extra richness

      God I'm starving now... I'm seriously considering Thai curry for breakfast.

        Hi Tracey, I say leave the comedy to people who are good at it! If you send me a private email I'll send a .pdf of one of my wife and I's favourites...Pasta Quills with Asparagus and Pesto. My asparagus is just starting to come through...can't wait to cut the first batch. Cheers, Keith

                ANGLESY EGGS-(for two?)
                1 "soft" hard boiled egg per person,
                2-3 leeks,
                1lb(?) potatoes,
                cheese sauce.
                "Soft" hard boil eggs (5-6mins), cut up and cook potatoes and leeks.Mash,then beat leeks and spuds together with a bit of butter and milk and pepper.
                Half eggs and put in a shallowish dish and cover with leek and spud mixture.Make a cheese sauce with strong cheese and pour over the top.Put in a hottish oven until top is light brown.Nothing else needed with it.

                      Macaroni with cherry toms, baby cauli and spinach all dowsed in a good cheese sauce is one of the few veggie meals my OH scoffs down before he's realised there's no meat in it

                      I agree re the chilli with quorn, easy to disguise the 'non meat' with the lovely chilli flavours (but please dont tell OH!)

                        One of my favourites is caramelised red onion and creme fraise tart:
                        Buy ready rolled puff pastry, cut to fit a round tart case
                        Cook pastry on its own for about 10-15 mins (160C) until brown and risen (make sure pastry is fully sealed!)
                        Fry thinly sliced red onions in butter, fresh thyme and garlic for about 10 mins
                        Layer onions in cooked pastry case, pour in a tub of creme fraise
                        Sprinkle olive oil on top and cook in oven (200C) for 1 min....lovely

                          I like to eat low-fat, fresh food as pure as it comes. In 'the season' (May onwards) I tend to eat allotment veg, steamed with rice or pasta. Sometimes I even wash the veg first.
                          Season with Kikkoman soy sauce, chilli sauce, salad dressing, whatever. Mix in some chick peas, soya beans etc for protein. I don't get bored because the veg changes all the time as to what is ready. At the moment it's PSB, sorrel, chives, leeks, cabbage.

                          Delicious hot or cold.

                            Veggie lasagne is great. I make it most often with thinly sliced aubergine that's been fried to dark brown in some olive oil, some tomato sauce made with plenty of finely diced onion and mushrooms. Spinach is great in it too, but make sure you cook it lightly first and squeeze all the extra water out. Make a cheese sauce with some parmesan and creamy goats cheese and layer up as usual.

                              Just as a note for anyone cooking for vegetarian guests, normal parmesan isn't vegetarian (only the stuff that is particularly labelled as such, generally sold in health food shops etc). It does depend on how strict the vegetarian is (for myself, I would never buy parmesan, but a little sprinkle in a dish cooked at a friends house with ingredients that would be bought whether or not I was there, I wouldn't cause a scene)
