I'm not sure about never. But I eat them several times per week, usually with some whole grain bread (which I'm now replacing with sprouted grain or dehydrated raw nut nut bread) and tahini, hummus, or guacamole. Sometimes I add walnuts to the stew. Yum!
Sometimes I would add cooked (not fried) potatoes. I might not give that up. I plan to aspire to mostly raw, personally, but I really like potatoes so I see no reason to give them up. I'm doing 100% raw right now to lose weight quickly. After that, I might be only mostly raw. Or I might feel so great I might not want to eat cooked foods, who knows?

If you don't particularly like the veg recipes you're using now, then I suggest exploring more veg recipe books. The key to success is variety. There are thousands upon thousands of delicious veg recipes! So there's no reason to ever eat boring food!
A vegetarian diet, whether raw vegan or lacto-ovo or somewhere in-between, can be delicious, exciting and satisfying!

Edit: Ok, I found on Google that there are. Just wandering about your recommendation for any.
Well I'm just now discovering them myself, so I'm not an expert. I've been watching a lot of youtube videos to learn how to make them. Just do a search for 'raw foods' and you'll find lots. But they might not all be good. I'll let you know as soon as I am able to make some recommendations, which should be soon.
I also just ordered more raw recipe books.
