Hi, Mattie, and welcome!

You might look for Bridget Anne Henisch's "Fast and Feast", I seem to
recall that this has a fair bit on the role of women in medieval food
production, and this was recently available at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art bookstore at 5th Avenue and 83rd or so. You'll also probably see
Cosman's "Fabulous Feasts"; I suggest you avoid this. It presents
something of a made-up version of medieval cookery.

By the way, for what it's worth, the SCA is an organization of real-live
medieval and renaissance recreationists, and there's a branch active in
Manhattan, known as the Canton of Whyt Whey (originally the Canton of
The Grate Whyt Whey). You may have seen our Urban Guerilla Fight
Practices in Union Square Park on Tuesday evenings in the spring and
summer. See:

http://www.ostgardr.org/main.shtml#subgroups

and the listing for Whyt Whey for more information.
