No. But for a good secondary source. try _Food and Drink in Britain_, C.
Anne Wilson. Each chapter covers a food (meat or milk/cheese/butter or
whatever) organized into sections by period: prehistoric, Roman, and early
medieval are the parts you would need. There is, for example, a really
neat description (from archeaological evidence in Ireland, actually tried
out by the archaeologists) of how to do "a roasting and a boiling" of meat
with no kitchen facilities other than stones, water, and a little wood.
