If you can start flower seeds, you can definitely start veggie seeds! The big difference might be in which ones to direct sow vs. start indoors and which ones you need to start really early (peppers and tomatoes). It seems like flower seeds can require more complicated treatment, while veggie seedlings seem to spring right up.

One funny thing I did last year: I knew nothing about lettuce and spinach, just popped the seeds in like the rest of them. I ran my lights at the recommended 16 hours per day, which worked great for most veggies. With spinach, however, it was the perfect condition for bolting (seed producing), so I ended up with little seedlings trying to flower, ha ha! :o) Lesson learned.
