Good for you, sebastianmarr. As a vegan for 8 years now, I can tell you that there are plenty of good recipes for vegetarians, if you consciously look for them.

Also, watch out for this phenomenon: after not eating meat for some time (a month should suffice), other food (especially vegetables) start to taste differently - start to taste better. It's quite possible you might never go back to eating meat again.

I ate way too much meat when I ate meat (I still occasionally indulge in fish but rarely). It was inconceivable to me that other kinds of food would ever taste good. I forced myself to be nearly vegan for a while. I allow dairy in moderation now but regardless, veggies and fruits and spices are so much more vivid.
