You might find some of the annotated bibliographies in the FOOD-BOOKS
section of my Florilegium to be of use. There are also several files
of messages about various period cookbooks, some reviews, some just
mentions that the cookbook might exist. Here are a few:
books-food-msg    (53K) 12/13/99    Books about food. Not cookbooks.
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (38K)  4/21/99    Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
cb-rv-Platina-msg (19K)  5/11/99    Reviews of cookbooks having Platina recipes.
cb-rv-Taillvt-msg  (9K)  7/14/99    Reviews of books having Taillevent’s recipes

                                       Messages posted before September 1995.
Harpstrang-cb-msg (34K) 10/19/99    The Harpestraeng cookbook. The oldest 
                                       cookbook in the Western world.

You might also find some of the files in the other food sections such as
FEASTS, FOOD, FOOD-BREAD, FOOD-BY-CULTURES, and FOOD-VEGETABLES to be of 
interest.
