My wife was gluten free for awhile for health reasons on doctors orders. She would try to make the most outrageous gluten free versions of food because she missed them, but they were always terrible. I kept telling her, instead of making a bad version of a good food, make healthy food taste good.

Yep. For instance, making a vegan version of a non vegan food can turn out disappointing. But a food that is just vegan to start with? Delicious.

Yup. Lots of delicious foods just so happen to be vegan

Tomato sauce on pasta - delicious!

Vegan imitation version of beef - bleh.
