The folks that contributed to those cookbooks had an audience they wanted to impress. They typically contributed recipes that had been in their family or at least their own repertoire for a long time. I have an amazing oatmeal cookie recipe I adapted from such a book...I call it, "So You Think You Don't Like Oatmeal Cookies?" People embarrass themselves stuffing them in their faces.

I want nothing to do with churches apart from their cookbooks.
