Answers:
What types of food does this particular vegetarian like?
I could give at least 100 dishes. Are you looking for anything in particular?
Peanut Butter and Jelly on Rye!
This is waaaaaaay too broad of a question. Perhaps try http://www.vegetariantimes.com to see if they have something that fits your needs.
Personally, I cook stuffed portabello mushrooms when I feel the urge.
1 large portabello mushroom per person
Herbed Chevre cheese (trader joe's sells a nice one)
Spinach
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Dried Cranberries
Pine Nuts
Penne Pasta
Truffle Oil
Start cooking Penne Pasta.
Preheat oven to 400. Wash and dry all vegetables. Place a layer of Spinach on the ribbed side of a destemmed portabello. Crumble chevre cheese to cover spinach. Heat at 400 until cheese is melting.
Remove from heat. Increase oven temp to "broil". Add sun-dried tomatoes, dried cranberries, and pine nuts. Broil until cranberries and tomatoes blacken. Remove from heat. Serve mushrooms on a bed of the penne noodles tossed in truffle oil.

Real Fettucine Alredo

At the same time, salt the pasta water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta thoroughly, and mix with butter and cream in sauté pan over low heat. Add cheese and toss until sauce thickens slightly. Season with pepper and nutmeg.

STUFFED SQUASH WITH BULGUR AND FETA
This vegetarian dish can be prepared up to a day ahead; fill the squash halves with the cooked bulgur mixture, then refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake.
4 large summer squash (about 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 cup bulgur wheat
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
lemon wedges, for serving
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve each squash lengthwise; slice off a sliver of skin from each half so they sit flat. Scoop out flesh with a small spoon or melon-baller, leaving a 1/4-inch border; chop finely, and reserve. Place squash halves on a rimmed baking sheet, skin sides down; set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved chopped squash, onion, almonds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is dry, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Add bulgur and 2 cups water; simmer over medium heat until liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes (bulgur should still be slightly crunchy). Remove from heat; stir in feta.
4. Mound bulgur mixture in reserved squash halves. Bake until squash is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Note: Once the flesh has been removed from the squash halves, it is chopped and added to the filling so nothing is wasted.

if you want a ready to make dish, buy morning star products. they make breakfast, steaks, wings, burgers, a lot of products that are great to eat for vegetarians. i would recommend that. and you can buy steak/chicken strips and just a few veggies and you make an awesome meal
