Yeah, well,  you have a point. I think, though, that there's a small
niche of late medieval / pre-renaissance food represented in English
sources such as Boorde's Dietary of Helth and the Proper Newe Boke of
Cokery, which are kinda the missing link between medieval food and
Nouvelle Cuisine, which to me represents more 17th-century stuff like
Plat, Digby, that sort of thing, hence the 1550 date. YMMV.
