Vegetarian buffet ideas

Here are some of our favourite vegetarian buffet/meze ideas which are ideal for parties and picnics (for mums who don't shop at Iceland!)
If catering for large numbers, I generally make up some batches of buffet foods in advance and freeze them. I also make various fresh salads and dips as needed, either the day before or on the day.

Make in advance and freeze:
Halloumi and double potato cakes
Halloumi tarts
Courgette and potato quiches
Falafels
Spinach and cheese pies
Cheese scones
Glamorgan sausages (or use this mixture in puff pastry to make sausage rolls)
Chorizo-type sausages (as above)
Scone-base pizzas
Cheese muffins
Garlic bread/dough balls/pizza
Spinach, pepper and Goat's cheese quiche
Savoury puff pastry tartlets
Quorn kebabs

Make  fresh:
Hummus
Tzatziki
Aubergine and feta dip
Pasta salad
Pesto and antipasti tart
Squash, lentil and sweet potato salad
Vegan salads
Bulghar wheat salad
Veggie frittata/tortilla
Roasted vegetable salad
Green salad
Rice salad
