In "Du Manuscrit a la Table," a 1992 volume of essays on medieval
food published by the University of Montreal, there is an article on
this subject: "Sources of Medieval Cuisine in Denmark" by Bi Skaarup.
It mentions a collection of recipes, dating around 1300. There are 2
different versions. One has 25 recipes; the other, 31. Both appear
to derive from a now-lost French cookbook. According to a footnote,
Rudolf Grewe and Constance Hieatt are preparing a new edition of
these manuscripts.
