When is a recipe no longer the recipe?

If you change a recipe by one thing then to my mind it is still the recipe. Is it still the same recipe though for example if you change the grain or you change the meat? Or just generally substitute stuff in some way. For me I have to substitute everything though I do try to still keep the spices and a general balance of flavors. When does it tip the scales for you?
As I said I try to keep the spices the same. So essentially I'm trying to keep it Spanish or Mexican or French or Italian or Danish etc. IE in the family that it was intended to be. (I just wish I could find a way to eat spanakopita and licorice and drink tea.)
