That's fair, but at least personally, I was initially turned off of switching to vegetarianism/veganism due to sites and recipes such as the linked one. It took another decade before I tried it again. It doesn't create a great first impression when your exposure to vegetarian and vegan cuisine consists of the same recipes you already make, but using "non-dairy milk" and "plant-based meat".

There are actually a lot of great vegetarian recipes that aren't just meat-based recipes in disguise, substituting meat/tofu/mushrooms for the meat. Fewer vegan ones, but they do exist. The best ones I've found come from cultures that are largely vegetarian or have large vegetarian sub-cultures (e.g. Indian or Ethiopian dishes).

Ethiopian and Indian are absolutely fabulous and are so much more interesting than fake chicken nuggets.
