For non-meat vegetarian dishes, take a look at this file in the FOOD
section of my Florilegium:
vegetarian-msg    (47K)  1/ 4/00    Medieval vegetarianism. Lenten foods.

You might also look in the FOOD-VEGETABLES section for the various
vegetable recipes.

Yes, that is a problem. And I really doubt that there is any evidence
for anyone doing that type of diet for any long length of time, other 
than some on bread and water or something similar as an act of extreme
penitence or a really dedicated monk.

In other words, a feast of 3 courses with at least 2 dishes per course?
Part of the problem is that feasts were celebrations as opposed to fasts.
Other than the examples where non-meat dishes were made for particular
participants, usually clerical folks, I doubt anyone will find anything.
