Hi Poodicat - the post says 'no fish/meat'.

Potatoe dauphinoise and salad/roasted vegetables?

[sherrardk]

For the starter you could do bubble and squeak with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce (I had this once and it was lovely - but I ditched the egg and had smokey bacon instead!).

[anneasquith]

no bacon.......................lol

HI Anne - not for these guests (obviously) - but just as a suggestion for others.

Stuffed peppers with couscous and roasted mediterraean veg like vine tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, aubergine, courgettes.

Bang all the veggies in a dish drizzed with olive oil in the oven and then stuff the peppers with the rest of the veg and some flavoured couscous which is really quick and easy to make in a pan, I like just simple with butter and some garlic.

Goes nice with a tomato and garlic sauce with a bit of red wine in it if people are drinking.

Makes a nice starter. You could also do it with half an aubergine each instead of peppers.

Hi bedknobs quite a few to choose from here. Hope you are getting around OK. Do the leg exercises they help.

Can't remember the recipe but you could do wild mushrooms (think you just fry them in butter and olive oil and a bit of garlic and then season and add lemon juice) served on toasted muffin (which has a thin layer of cream cheese on it) with a side salad.
