I think that has to be "medieval European non-Islamic cookbooks." 
Spain is geographically part of Europe, although it was culturally 
part of the civilized world in the 13th century, before the Franks 
finished reconquering it. And there are Andalusian cookbooks that are 
almost certainly earlier than the Anglo-Norman.
