[london.food] Chr*stm*s d*nn*r

I am cooking the vegetable portion of a Christmas dinner for eleven
people, on Saturday.  I will have a four-ring gas hob, a two-tier
steamer, a microwave, and a small oven/grill.  (The big oven is for
the meat and roast potatoes, which are being handled by Someone Else.)
I will have at least one kitchen slave.

Current plans:

 - mashed squash with cream
 - baked leeks with stilton
 - steamed carrots (I don't like carrots)

Er, that's as far as I've got, actually.  Has anyone got any really
fabulous vegetable dishes that I should try out?  I'm still not much
of a meat-eater really, so I'd like to make the vegetable dishes
sufficient on their own.  I want to make at least seven of them.

Yes I know, don't make a dish for the first time if it's for company,
etc, etc, I do it all the time and never had to order in pizza yet.
