Furthermore, my daughter has informed me that should I regard cooking two meals as a hassle, they will bring their own food. Am I right in thinking that there’s something very self-centered about telling someone they must cooperate in your dietary choices or you will bring your own food? If so, what is your advice?

Another mountain out of a mole hill.

All that person needs to do is say "yes, bring your own food and you
can cook it too". It's her daughter, not some stranger. She offered,
let her do it. If she's not going to bend her rules for the sake of
harmony at the dinner table when it's a lifestyle choice, not dictated
by health, then her daughter needs to shoulder the meal responsibility
for herself and the vegan grandchildren.
