Most of my smoked tofu is homemade tofu with a bit of liquid smoke in it, so it's technically not smoked anyway… point being I'm sure regular tofu mixed with something smoke-flavoured would be perfectly good!

Fresh spinach is pretty expensive in the US too. My mother seems to use frozen for most things and it's an adequate replacement. Any greens would work, really (or maybe do a mushroom one?). I don't think the vegetable quantity needs to be measured perfectly, so long as the liquid content isn't really over the top I bet it'll be fine.

Sounds great. Cashew creams make just about anything great. I love smoked tofu, but it's about 5-6 times more expensive than regular tofu (which is very cheap at local Asian markets), so I don't buy it often. I think one could just use normal tofu + smoked salt/liquid smoke here, because the tofu is crumbled anyway. Would save money.

Don't think I could ever afford 450 g of fresh spinach though... would cost so much I could cook for a month with that money! I wonder how much frozen spinach one should use.

(I'm not a cheapskate, really, but smoked tofu and fresh spinach are just very expensive here.)

[...] never knew I liked cashews so much, and I have since extended their use across many other aspects of my cooking. I tried cashew based ice cream recipes from books and from the interwebs, and with some success [...]

lol… You can only imagine the reactions I receive about what I eat! And I totally get what you mean about the smoked salmon smell.

Your lasagne looks and sounds like it turned out beautifully. There’s a recipe for a German Blueberry cake I used to make periodically several years back, has cashews in the base. If you enjoy blueberries and cobbler type dishes, I think you might like it. I’ll see about finding it and send it to you. That or maybe I can still track down the site link.
