How long have you had wait for a baked cake to try?
This Nutty Flat Pie is special, as after it is baked, it is recommended to wait for two weeks for it to mature. Good chance to train patience and will, isn’t it?:) Only after two weeks you can feel a true taste of Nutty Flat Pie.
Alongside quick and easy recipes, we have already shared with you recipes which require extra time to mature or extra efforts for cooking and preparation.
For example, you need to wait 1 week for this dijon mustard dressing to mature:
or as with “Soya submarines”, first you need to prepare soy milk from beans, and only then to prepare “submarines” from okara (soy bean pulp):
These grapefruit muffins require from you lots of patience, as all the skinny borders of grapefruit must be removed before you start with muffins baking, but the result is worth it!:
With sauerkraut and home-made antidote, wait 3 days for fermentation:
Kimchi. Who does not like kimchi? Those who like it and are ready to make it by their own, be ready to work hard at a kitchen to make it and then wait for 1-3 week for taste to mature!:
And beetroot chips start from juice making!:
Tips before you start baking Nutty Flat Pie
- You may use walnuts, pekan nuts, almonds, macadamia or hazelnuts (cashew, pine nuts or coconut would not work)
- Use any kind of candied fruits you have. Lemon and orange peels would make a pie taste one way, while candied melon and papaya – other way
- Replase sugar with inulin if you wish. Inulin is naturally found in variety of fruits, vegetables and herbs, including bananas, wheat, chicory and artichoke. It is a type of prebiotic with a sweet taste
- Cooking with inulin may be a challenge and needs some practice. When cooking, it forms one big piece and stick to a stirring spoon. Be patient and just stir inuline with honey constantly, for at least 5 minutes (or more). Finally, it will melt
- Normally, we avoid to heat honey, but this recipe is an exception
- Normally, we avoid to use unsoaked nuts and sugar, but this recipe is an exception
- If using citrus peels it would require less honey (100 g / 1/3 cup), for candied fruits like papaya, melon, etc – use more (200 g / 2/3 cup)
- Make sure you cool down the pie completely before wrapping it into a cotton towel for maturation, otherwise it may spoil and mold!

Mary Novalis (United States): Tasty recipes without sugar!
Dr. Alisa Palatronis has “cooked up” a very interesting cookbook! I am intrigued by the ingredient choices for some recipes and can’t wait to try them all! My palate is anticipating them all. I did try a few right away since I had the ingredients on hand. The Mascadates from Bożena and Almonds in Heaven were very tasty! I also tried the Hello Hasselback Potato too, they were delicious!! My next recipe will be Delights from 1001 Nights for a sweet treat since I love chickpeas.
This cookbook is one of a kind and I look forward to trying all the recipes and passing it along to my vegan friends and non vegan friends alike. Thank you Dr. Palatronis for this special treat, you have a way with enticing ones palate with your pictures and ingredients combinations.
