SC - Medieval Portuguese cookbooks?

[Cindy Renfrow]

Hello!  All I have is:

"Um Tratado Da Cozinha Portuguesa Do Seculo XV"
(A Text on Portuguese Cooking from the Fifteenth Century)
Tr. by Jane L. Crowley from a modern Portuguese text by Professor Antonio
Gomes Filho. Copyright 1988 by Jane L. Crowley.
That's all the bibliographic info I have, but I think this probably was
printed by Cariadoc.  There are no Portuguese originals in the text.

HTH,

>Does anyone know if there are any extant medieval cookbooks from

>feel (da Gama rounded the Cape in 1497), with an African flavour
>(sweet potatoes, ostrich), but I'd love to have some actual
