Do you not eat apples? Pears? Peaches? Corn? How about steak? Do you drink milk? Eggs? Rice? All these things taste great all by themselves. Some need the proper application of heat, some don't. Some taste great BOTH ways. *One super helpful thing to know is how food reacts to heat. for instance... sugars carmelize, intensifying sweetness. If you've only eaten perfectly ripe peaches raw... yes, you've had one of the worlds greatest treats, but you're missing out on what a grill can do! (cut in half, lightly oil the surface, place on low grill for a long time :-) Sweet potatoes? Man... stick one of those in a 425 oven for over an hour. (place directly on rack with tin foil on rack below to collect juices) Comes out sweet as candy. No additives needed. If it sounds like I'm obsessed with good food... I am! I guess I'm just unusually lucky to like vegetables.
