I have also used this manuscript for several feasts and I agree the food is 
great. My ongoing project is to redact every recipe contained in the  book 
but so far I only have 67 finished. :-)

A translation appears in His Grace Cariadoc's Collection of Medieval and 
Renaissance Cookbooks, Vol.I. The 2 volume collection contains translations 
of many of the cookbooks we mention on this list. And both volumes together 
cost less than a single volume of most any book. I would highly recommend 
that the serious student of medieval cookery purchase this collection.
