The dish is great if you have cauliflower and mushrooms in your refrigerator and you don't know what to do with them. I made this dish according to recipie and it turned out fine, but it lacked in taste somehow, so we didn't care too much about it. It went good with meat dish we had along. I made it second time hoping it would turn out better but it was same. I also added a small amount of cumin to add some taste to it the second time. But apparently this dish needs something else or some more spices for the right combination.

It was one of the few times I made a pie and it turned out great. "All American" is really the adjective that describes it. It tasted and looked like one of the pies that one can purchase in stores and fast-food places, Only it was better because it was home-made, and if one wishes to cut some calories, one can cut out the butter and oil content. I put half less of butter and oil, a bit less flour, and some more milk. I also used olive oil because vegetable oil was aparently missing in my home. As for spices I added some allspice in addition to cinnamon. I loved the crunchy shell and crust and the light brown look of the pie.

The cherries gave this cake reddish color on the inside which was quite unusual but great for holiday seasons, apples gave it moisture, while the nuts were the crispy little bits that improved cake's texture. I'm definitely making this cake again.
