SC - Medieval Portuguese cookbooks?

[Jessica Tiffin]

Greetings, the list!

Does anyone know if there are any extant medieval cookbooks from 
Portugal, or describing a Portuguese period culinary tradition?  Our 
shire is planning a Portuguese Explorer event (we're in Cape Town, it 
seemed appropriate) and I was wondering what kind of food would fit 
with the theme.  The current plan is to try for a late-15th century 
feel (da Gama rounded the Cape in 1497), with an African flavour 
(sweet potatoes, ostrich), but I'd love to have some actual 
Portuguese dishes.

(I have had a look in the Florilegium, but didn't find anything in 
the bibliography... Stefan, haven't you moved the Florilegium 
recently?  I don't seem to have kept the new URL).

many thanks,
Jehanne
