Gluten free, vegetarian?

[Slow.Patrol]

I have a relative staying who is a gluten free vegetarian (not by choice).

Can I have your suggestions as to recipe ideas. Preferably not too spicy, otherwise I would have gone with chickpea and squash curry.

Personally I tend to avoid special gluten free or vegetarian meat as they are usually ste and/or highly processed. Although, has anyone tried the "yellow pea pasta".

Pretty much any vegetarian recipe you make from scratch will be good. Just watch out for hidden gluten in things like stock cubes and sauces. If your rel is coeliac please make sure you clean all worktops etc and cook separately to avoid even the slightest contamination.
Curries, tagines, veg chilli can all be spiced to taste. Be sure to use lots of different veg eg aubergines, sweet potato, squash for interest.
For flavour, dried mushrooms are your friend - they give you some of that umami that you miss from meat.
You are right to avoid things like quorn - utter filth.

For gluten free baking, Becky Excel is great

I'll be following this thread with interest, as I'm fairly gluten intolerant and have been vegetarian for 55 years.

I have a coeliac daughter and a vegetarian daughter we find quite a few recipes in Marcus Wareings books for example: https://www.marcuswareing.com/recipes/whole-roaste...
