We are doing the same for our 10 days within a chalet in northern Quebec. Nine people and most of the meals are fully vegetarian. Pizzas, pot-au-feu, tartiflette, raclette, etc everything is possible without meat. It tastes different for sure and it is a good way to (re)discover some flavours. Oh and be creative!

*I don’t know if this a trend but I encourage you to follow it :-).*
