Tough call. If I remember Vehling and his translation, he was a
professional cook with an interest in history, while Flower and
Rosenbaum were professional scholars with an interest in cookery. My
general impression is that the ladies practiced their hobby a bit better
than Vehling did his. All in all, I'd have to go with Flower/Rosenbaum.
