The "napoleon" was just an idea I had a while back, but as the tomatoes have sucked lately (as they are want to do in winter) we haven't had a chance to try it out.

The cheese is also from "Raw Food / Real World" and gets the distinctive orange color from blending in red bell pepper to equal amounts of macadamia nuts, with a little lime juice, sea salt and pepper and then dehydrating at 115° for 6-8 hours. Then using a cookie cutter slightly larger than the dehydrated tomato, alternately stacking the cheese and tomato pieces. The only thing missing was basil, which we could find, but next time...
