We made this as a filling for ravioli and they were absolutely delicious! They do however stick together if you are not careful, so if you want to take an easier route, just make lasagna instead.

These are perfect for a light and healthy summer dessert. They can be made using any kind of fresh fruit (go to the farmer's market to see what is in season!) and if you'd prefer a warm version of this, feel free to stew the fruit until soft. Apples, pears, nectarines, or peaches would be delicious for this and you could even add a bit of cinnamon for a bit more flavor. The lime tofu cream can be changed to a plain cream by decreasing the lime or lemon juice down to 1-2 tablespoons.
The Lemon Pastry Shell recipe comes from the Patricia Wells at Home in Provence cookbook and the tofu cream is adapted from a German tofu cookbook.

It provides instructions for preparing the dough, mixing the flavorful stuffing, and assembling the triangular pastries. The samosas can then be either deep-fried for a traditional crisp or baked for a healthier alternative.

Lacking parsley and a barbeque, I came up with my own version of Jamie Oliver's "Grandad Ken's Crispy Grilled Trout with Parsley and Lemon" recipe. Make sure to serve it with lemon halves so that people can squeeze more lemon juice onto the trout while eating.

This is a caffeine-free chai version, based on the Chai recipe Sarah posted last year - which in turn is a recipe she inherited from Pia, so we're going full circle here. We used to buy a rooibos chai mix at a local Indian supermarket, but this version is much better (if I say so myself), and will definitely become a staple on our tea shelf.
