For the vegan basil pesto, add the pine nuts and cashews to a pan and toast for 2-3 minutes. Add the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and nutritional yeast to a food processor or blender and blend until well chopped, scraping down the sides of the blender jar occasionally. With the processor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until well blended and relatively smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For the curry date dip, chop the dates and mince the garlic. Combine all ingredients in a blender until well combined. For the tomato and carrot spread, finely chop the shallot and sauté with 30g butter in a large saucepan. Finely grate the carrots, add them to the pan, and sauté. Add 90g butter, tomato paste, thyme, oregano, salt, and sugar, and sauté for 6 minutes. Purée everything with an immersion blender or in a blender. It’s best to let it sit overnight. To serve, slice the bread and toast it in a pan with oil, if desired. Spread the bread with the spreads as desired.
