There are a fair number of books of varying types with food in art.  
The Dutch painters were particularly fond of still lifes with food.  
It's one of the better sources for what some period confections looked 
like.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've found interesting books 
at stores such as Waldenbooks and have a lovely one entitled "Still 
Life" which mostly contains period art divided into sections such as 
animals, foods, plants...The cover has a gorgeous glass goblet on it.
