There is a Womans organisation in Scotland "The Womans Rural Institute" similar to the English "Womans Institute" of Calendar girls fame.The cookbook from that is my favourite.
Older editions have the member and home county beside their recipe.Indeed there are several options for each item.
Starters soups and meals then baking.jams marmalade bottling freezing.Each county has an emblem and there are competitions locally then wider afield.
My copy of the WRI Cookbook is forty years old. and has recipes telling how to make an old hen fit for eating.Poor hen no doubt at the end of her laying days.All the recipes are foolproof.
Do women elsewhere meet like this..? once a month.When I was a young wife I had suppressed giggles at the start of the meeting..such serious attitudes (to my unformed brain)
I dont go to the meetings now but support it fully in other ways.
