Well, you might want to look at some of the files in the FOOD-BOOKS section
of my Florilegium:
books-food-msg (50K) 4/23/99 Books about food. Not cookbooks.
cb-novices-msg (13K) 10/14/98 Cookbooks for those new to medieval cooking.
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 Taillevents recipes
cookbooks-bib (32K) 4/21/97 Cookbook bibliography by Jaelle of Armida.
cookbooks2-bib (14K) 10/ 3/97 Cookbook bibliography by Stephen Bloch.
cookbooks3-bib (20K) 10/14/98 Cookbook bibliography by Lady Allison.
cookbooks-msg (98K) 5/11/99 Reviews of cookbooks with medieval recipes.
Messages posted before September 1995.
cookbooks2-msg (96K) 5/11/99 Reviews posted between 9/95 and 11/97.
cookbooks3-msg (120K) 5/11/99 Reviews posted after 11/97.
cookbooks-SCA-msg (15K) 7/26/99 Cookbooks written by people in the SCA.
cooking-bib (14K) 1/24/95 Bibliography on cooking sources.
Harpstrang-cb-msg (34K) 10/19/99 The Harpestraeng cookbook. The oldest
cookbook in the Western world.
Livres-rev-art (12K) 6/25/99 A review by Martha Carlin of a book about
the history of medieval cookbooks..
merch-cookbks-msg (10K) 8/31/99 Merchants selling period cookbooks.
I would recommend looking in the cookbooks-SCA-msg and the bibliographies
which are annotated with which books are recommended and which ones aren't.
I hope this isn't too overwhelming. Other than the cb-novices-msg file I
don't think any say get these three or six books first. Hmm. Maybe the
cb-novices-msg file is what you are looking for, afterall.
