Welcome to this SCA-Cooks list.

Well, here are a few of the files in the Florilegium that I think might
fall within this area:
In the FOOD section:
pasta-msg         (92K)  9/ 6/00    Period pasta. Period referances. Recipes.
polenta-msg       (15K) 11/19/99    Period polenta. Wheat and maize polenta.
Cheap-Apicius-art (13K)  9/28/98    "Apicius for the Impoverished" by
Margali. 

In FOOD-BOOKS:
p-Italy-food-bib   (9K) 12/ 1/99    Bibliographies on period Italian food.

In FOOD-BY-REGION:
fd-Italy-msg      (16K)  9/29/98    Period Italian food. Cookbooks.

There are also a number of other food and food related files, but they
are often organised by food type rather than country. So if you have
a specific vegetable or food item, let me know and perhaps I can point
you to some files. Since you mention wanting to someday do some feast
cooking, you might find some of the files in the FEAST section useful.
It's often nice to learn from others mistakes. There are also a wide
variety of SCA feast menus given there, often with more recipes.
