Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime. |

This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal.... We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke. |

To make filling: Put spinach with water still clinging to the
leaves in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium heat until the
spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold
water. Squeeze the spinach quite dry and chop. In nonstick skillet,
heat oil over medium heat. Add scallions and saute until softened, 2
to 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and stir in spinach,
feta, Parmesan, dill and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Beat egg whites lightly with a fork and stir into the spinach mixture.
To form phyllo rolls: Set oven rack on the upper level; preheat
to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking
spray or line with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together
egg white, oil and salt. Lay one sheet of phyllo on a work surface
with a short side toward you. Brush lower half of the sheet with the
egg-white mixture. Repeat this step with a second sheet of phyllo and
set on top of the first. Spoon one-quarter of the spinach filling
along one long edge. Tuck in the side edges and roll up, jelly-roll
fashion. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the
remaining phyllo, egg-white mixture and filling, making 4 rolls in
all. Brush tops of the rolls lightly with the egg-mixture and
sprinkle with seeds, if desired. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. With a
serrated knife, cut each roll diagonally into 9 pieces and serve hot.
The rolls may be prepared, baked and sliced up to 2 days in advance.
Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until heated
through. Makes 36 appetizers.
