I bought _Take a Buttock of Beef_ for one reason: unlike _Fabulous
Feasts_, it includes original recipes, so you can just shut your eyes at
the facing-page redactions and learn something.  I'm assuming, of
course, that the "original recipes" are in fact reprinted accurately.

P.S. Yes, _Fabulous Feasts_ includes at least one original recipe --
IIRC, a lengthy series of instructions for preparing hypocras which was
omitted from _Pleyn Delit_ in the interest of brevity.
