What are the different kinds of vegetarian diet?

“Vegetarian” covers several patterns. The MedlinePlus on vegetarian diets lists them: vegan diets include only plant foods, lacto-vegetarian diets add dairy, and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets add dairy and eggs. Knowing which one you or your guests follow helps when you choose recipes from a large collection.

A balanced plate looks similar in each case. The Harvard Healthy Eating Plate guide suggests filling half the plate with vegetables and fruits, a quarter with whole grains and a quarter with healthy protein, plus healthy oils and water. Meatless classics, such as bean chili or vegetable lasagne, can all follow it.

With a large recipe collection, pick two or three dishes a week, shop once, and keep a short list of favourites. If you have a health condition, a dietitian can tailor the plan.

A weekly plan can mix patterns: a vegan lentil soup on Monday, a cheese-based pasta on Thursday and an egg dish at the weekend. Keep a short list of dishes that suit every guest at your table, so you can cook once and serve everyone.
