I don't know of any such source in polished form. This would be quite
a project and would require a substantial amount of time, both to create
and maintain. If you were interested in putting such a thing on the
web and maintaining it, I think we could set aside your own area in
the Florilegium for this.
In the meantime, a lot of the material for such a list is available
in the Florilegium, although in a rather raw form.
For instance, in the FOOD-BOOKS section of the Florilegium here are
a few files that are there:
16thC-cookbk-bib (11K) 3/ 2/00 A bibliography of 16th C. cookbooks.
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (37K) 4/20/00 Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
cb-rv-Platina-msg (21K) 2/21/01 Reviews of cookbooks having Platina recipes.
cb-rv-Taillvt-msg (9K) 7/14/99 Reviews of books having Taillevent's 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.
(And I've got another 200K of stuff to add to the cookbooks-msg series)
Harpstrang-cb-msg (34K) 10/19/99 The Harpestraeng cookbook. The
oldest
cookbook in the Western world.
online-ckbks-msg (23K) 4/11/01 Online versions of period cookbooks.
p-Italy-food-bib (9K) 12/ 1/99 Bibliographies on period Italian food.
Also, since the cookbooks-msg files were getting so large, when cookbooks
have been mentioned that were specific to a particular culture, I've
been putting them in the various files in the FOOD-BT-REGION section.
