I think Rosetta is going to be about the best you're going to do for a 'cookbook' -- but there is something to watch out for there: the small nature of the entries means that [relatively] you won't get a lot of familiarity with managing large systems (packages).

There are some old [Ada95] software libraries/packages/examples on adapower.com. You should also look at some of the libraries in the recent library thread.

Lastly I wrote a sort of introduction/sniplit-example for Ada 2012 [and Streams] over here:
