USENET Cookbook
I used to follow the USENET newsgroup "alt.gourmand" back in college, in the mid-1980's. A couple decades later, I tried googling it and found a tarball at ftp://ftp.isy.liu.se/pub/misc/, which contains the recipe files in troff format, plus a Programs directory with the commands for use with the trn newsreader. It appears that the most recent recipe in the archive is dated August 5, 1988.
In case it ever disappears from that URI, I've saved a copy here.
