There is an old book by Eileen Power called _Medieval People_ which
consists of six chapters on what life would have been like for six
different medieval people--one of whom is the Menagier's wife.
By the way, does late 14th century count as Renaissance?
Note that if you want to do this, a translation of the cooking
section of Menagier is up on Cariadoc's web site, and it includes a
lot of menus as well as recipes. We also have a lot of worked-out
recipes from the Menagier in the _Miscellany_.
