I think hearty soups may also be an area of meals we'd both forgotten about. @raker and @Mike Ellis thank you both so much for extra inspiration.

We're both (and the two kids!) vegetarian, and have been for many years. One thing which I think is actually a big misconception about vegetarianism (well, vegetables, actually!) is that it/they are less tasty than meat. I think you can get away with being a lazier cook with meat - i.e. you probably have to work slightly harder with vegetarian food to make it as tasty - but it is still very, very possible - as your menu illustrates. Definitely I'd recommend lentils, as per previous comment, and also lots and lots of stock, onions, garlic, ginger and herbs... Fish also forms a big part of our weekly intake. Really good for you, very tasty, and also interesting textures as well... Interesting read!

It is really, really good, even got the thumbs up from Simon, who's never been keen on home made curry as we have such great, and reasonable, curry houses in our area. There's plenty for the freezer, and I plan to throw in some left over roast chicken or lamb the next time we have it - it won't need very much, it's really great on its own!
