Seems a bit tame, but my two veggie nieces love my courgettes stuffed with sage and onion rissotto. I serve it with my speciality veggie sauce: whole carrots slow roasted in butter and then pureed with cream and lots of black pepper added. It's not a gravy and it's not vegan but you will actually die of pleasure when you taste it whether you're a vegetarian or not!

sounds wonderful - but
how do you make the sage and onion rissotto?

As a vegetarian I have to say the one thing I really don't like is substitute meat. IF I enjoyed the taste and texture of meat I'd eat it so please don't assume your veggie/vegan guest would enjoy quorn etc...
I would say make something inventive using vegetables & ensure the veggie can enjoy the trimmings (never understand why in restaurants veggie option often means having to forego roast potatoes!)
The idea of stuffing a squash with veg stuffing sounds divine!

I 100% agree that not all vegetarians like quorn .. I hate the stuff !

Roast potatoes I cook in a vegetable fat . Whilst I understand that most people enjoy goose fat roasted potatoes at Christmas dinner , if you have a vegetarian joining you for Christmas dinner then please just separate off a few of the potatoes begore the goose fat is added to roast seperatly in a vegetable fat/oil .
