A word of explanation: This past week my mother sent me my gran's recipe for Canadian Butter Tarts. I was expecting a scan of a handwritten or typed index card, but instead she sent me a scan of a page from an Eastern Star cookbook to which my gran had contributed in 1956. These little cookbooks are ubiquitous in Eastern Star and certain religious groups: assembled from recipes contributed by their members, laboriously typeset and bound with plastic comb-binding, they were often sold as fundraisers by the Women's Church Board or similar organisations. Sometimes the recipes are terrifying -- there are usually a lot of Jello Salads and Casseroles.

I think the Doctor probably has a whole collection of them in the library.
