Combining dates and just about any kind of fresh berries is an easy way to make a sweet sauce. The lemon juice preserves the color, balances the flavor, and gives it a bit of a shelf life. Strawberry Sauce is runny when first made and a nice topping for Strawberry Ice Cream; if chilled in the fridge, it thickens, and can be spread on sprouted grain toast.

2 cups strawberries
½ cup dates, pitted and soaked in water 4 hours
1 tablespoon lemon juice

TOOLS: Food processor

• Place all ingredients into food processor. Blend thoroughly.
CHEF’S NOTE: STRAWBERRY SAUCE KEEPS, REFRIDGERATED IN A GLASS CONTAINER, UP TO 4 DAYS.

Mushroom Spinach Lasagna

MUSHROOM SPINACH LASAGNA
SERVES 4

My two favorite foods—mushrooms and spinach—are complimented by the rich Cashew Cheese. This one is a good bet for satisfying your friends who eat traditional cooked foods.

8    large portobello mushrooms
2 ¾     cup water
½     cup nama shoyu
2    garlic cloves, minced
3    tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
2    tablespoons fresh jalapeño, minced
¼    cup shallot, minced
¼    cup cilantro, minced
¼     cup parsley, minced
4    cups spinach leaves
2    cups Cashew Cheese ( see CONTACT US page for recipe)

TOOLS: Oblong springform pan, sharp knife, marbles or pastry weights
