This link could give you a few ideas. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/category/vegetarian
I am not vegetarian but do try to go without meat at times.
I have some good recipes I have cut out of magazines, I will try and find them online for you.
Leek pudding – It’s basically a similar to a steak suet pudding. You make it with veggie suet but you put leeks in the pudding instead of steak. Also use the water from boiling the leeks to make the best gravy you have ever tasted. It's real comfort food.
Leeks are good and you can do things like add them to macaroni cheese and cauliflower cheese. Another good thing with both of these recipes is to add fine breadcrumbs on the top of the dish before you cook them to give them a really crispy topping.
If you look at the What's for Dinner thread, there are plenty of examples of meals on there (including under my name but most aren't very fancy - others have better ideas). Then there's the Vegetarian Society website and
Gnocchi in mascarpone and tomato sauce, with spinach, topped with mozzarella and baked in the oven
Cook gnocchi, microwave spinach. Put gnocchi in baking dish, cover with sauce and add spinach. Mix it up. Cover with mozzarella and parmesan until golden. Serve with salad.
Asda have some great frozen veggie none meatballs and mince meat as well as burgers (there are 8 in the box). The meatballs are especially nice in a pasta sauce with spaghetti.
Shepherd's pie with veggie mince or beans (google shepherdess pie for a recipe)
Spag bol with veggie mince

Sorry parmesan and many other cheeses are non-veg, There are plenty of vegetarian cheeses if you dig around.

Most cheese sold in supermarkets is vegetarian: Cheddar, Lancashire, Double Gloucester, most other British cheeses, many mass-market European cheeses... It's the ones which are produced to a strict recipe, such as Parmesan and Grana Padano, which cannot be sold under the registered name if they aren't made with animal rennet.

Vegans don't eat any dairy at all.
Vegetarians don't eat anything that requires the death of the animal, which includes animal rennet. Some vegetarians MISTAKENLY eat non-vegetarian cheese because they aren't aware of rennet, and some eat it because they aren't really vegetarian.

There is no need to eat animal rennet. In England most cheese is vegetarian. These days one can even buy parmesan substitute. Twineham grange hard cheese is the best Vegetarian alternative to Parmesan Cheese. You can pick it up in loads of places and I think Tesco's now stock it nationally
Personally I don't know any vegetarians who eat animal rennet.
