Vegetarian

I have a dinner party for six people on Sunday and one of them is a vegetarian.

What can I give this person except for the veggies and roasted potatoes that I'm planning to make for the rest of the meat eaters.

The difficult thing is that I don't want her to feel although I went all out just to cook something especially for her but how and what else?

I tried stuffed mushrooms once but I can't give that to her again.

And do I make enough of the vegetarian dish for everybody or just for one person?

Hi Surita

Simply done and simply executed is what you want..

whether you have to make something only for her.. and in turn tempt the others remains to be seen.

For starters (for all guests) a simple roasted Pumpkin soup, garnished with shaved gruyere or another 'hard cheese'

For main course:
Wild Mushroom, confit garlic and herb pancake Gateau with Parmesan crackling, mushroom foam and perhaps a selection of baby winter vegetables on the side.

Simply put:
Wild mushrooms, sauteed, seasoned and then allowed to cool. Make a savoury pancake, line a mould with clingfilm and the pancake on top of that (so that when you remove the shape, the pancake hasn't stuck to the sides of the mould). Place your mixture in the pancake, fill with a quiche mixture and then steam for approx 20-30 minutes.

The garnishes I'm sure you can work out
