Fold over the other edges to finish the triangle, smearing the last fold with the paste to seal. Place triangle on a plate, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and paste.

WHOLE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• A couple of hours before baking, let the bananas thaw completely on a plate at room temperature.
• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment, leaving 1-inch overhang on the long sides.
• Whisk the cake flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; Set aside.
• Trim the stems and tips from the thawed bananas then transfer the unpeeled bananas to a high-power blender or food processor; blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; add both sugars, the eggs, butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake until puffed up, golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on the rack.

CHOCOLATE-FILLED FILO TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Break up 4 ounces of chocolate into 1/2-ounce pieces. Set aside.
• In a food processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar.
• Lay 8 sheets of filo out on top of each other.
• Place one sheet lengthwise on the work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp towel.
• Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar mixture. Place a second sheet over the sugared sheet. Butter the second sheet and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Add 2 more sheets, buttering and sprinkling between each.Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left side of one of the strips, place a 1/2-ounce piece of chocolate 2 inches from the end. Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece of chocolate over the chocolate toward the back side of the strip, making a 3-inch triangle. The left end of the filo should be even with the back edge. Fold the piece of chocolate to the right, over itself, retaining the triangular shape. Fold the chocolate piece toward the front edge of the strip. Continue wrapping the chocolate, alternating the direction with each fold, until you get to the end. (It is like folding a flag.) Wrap the other strips in the same manner.
• With the remaining sheets, make 4 more chocolate-filled triangles.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the triangles on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

VEGAN SPANAKOPITA TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Heat the tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until translucent.
• Add the spinach to the pan and cover, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and drain in a strainer.
• Add the spinach mixture, tofu, salt, pepper, oregano and lemon juice to a mixing bowl. Toss to blend evenly.
• Heat the rest of the oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Remove from heat.
• On a dry cutting board lay down the first piece of phyllo dough. Lightly brush with a little oil and fold in half lengthwise. Place a spoonful (about 2 tbsp) of the mixture onto the bottom section of the dough. Take the bottom left corner and fold it over the mixture, mooshing it to make it line up with the edges of the dough. Make sure to keep a little bit of space between the mixture and the edge of the dough.
• Brush the part of the dough that is folded over the mixture with oil, and fold that section over again, the way you would fold a flag, so it makes a triangle. Keep brushing the dough lightly with oil before every fold and at the end to get the remaining edges to stick to the triangle. When you are done, you should have a 4ish inch long triangle pocket. Place on a cookie sheet and poke once with a fork to let steam out.
• Repeat this with the sheet of phyllo dough until all of the mixture is used up.
• Cook in a 425F oven for 10-20 minutes, until golden brown and flaky all over.
• If you would like a dipping sauce for the spanakopita, whisk the juice of 2 lemons into a bowl with 1/2 c olive oil and add some minced garlic.
