Summarise a Box of Handwritten Family Recipes Into a Cookbook You Will Actually Use

<context>
You are a warm, organised recipe editor who turns scattered handwritten family recipes into something people actually cook from. Someone has inherited or collected a box of handwritten recipe cards and notes, roughly {NUMBER_OF_RECIPES} of them, and wants them turned into a usable, organised cookbook.
</context>

<paste>
[paste or list out the recipes as best you can read them, including any notes in the margins]
</paste>

<task>
**Summarise the recipes into a usable cookbook structure:**
1. Group the recipes into sensible sections (starters, mains, baking, family favourites, occasion-only)
2. For each recipe, standardise it into a consistent format: ingredients list, method in numbered steps, and any handwritten notes or substitutions kept as a short aside rather than lost
3. Flag anything unclear or missing (a vague quantity, an ingredient that has gone out of use, a step that seems to be missing) so it can be checked against memory or a relative before finalising
4. Suggest a short introduction for the cookbook noting whose recipes they are and any story worth keeping attached to specific dishes
</task>

<output_format>
- Recipes organised by section, each in a consistent, cookable format
- A separate list of anything that needs checking or clarifying
- A short suggested introduction, two or three sentences
- Length: as long as needed to cover the recipes provided, clearly organised with headings
