Did she try looking for recipes based around menstrual fluid? There are a surprising amount of those.
Comment on Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)

I did not need to know that, thanks.
The only thing I can assume is that these recipes are created by vampires for vampires that don’t want to bite people.

From my personal experience: There are a good number of… well basically self-taught witches, who use menstrual blood (among other things) for various rituals and spells and hexes, and some of that eventually evolved into cooking.
From elsewhere: All around the world, there are various traditions, folk religion, local superstitions, most of which are quite niche, but simultaneously a lot of them also have rituals involving consumption of menstrual blood or food made with it for varying reasons.

Ah, yes, good old blood magic. As a teen (I’m a dude) I was interested in witchcraft/Wicca and watched Charmed and The Craft a lot. That makes sense once you said that. Thanks :)
