I think this is a good thing.  Having the original can make a great
deal of difference in how you reproduce it yourself.  For instance
(going back to the greens recipe again) I'm not sure where I could
find broccoli rabe if I tried, but I have borage in my garden, and
violets all over my yard (pesticide-free, too!), and beet greens are
often found still attached to the beets around here.

And hearing what was tried that didn't work, and why, will prevent me
from making the same mistake -- or will let me reproduce it if the
difference is something I consider a desireable outcome!
