You might look at some of the cookbooks reviewed in the FOOD-BOOKS section
of the Florilegium. Unfortunately though, I don't think having good
pictures is usually a comment that comes out in such reviews and
bibliographies.

Some of the referances given in this file in the FOOD section might
be useful since they specifially point out paintings with food in them:
fd-paintings-msg  (14K)  6/ 1/00    Period paintings that show food items.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD/fd-paintings-msg.html

Three other files that might be of interest to you, although not food
oriented, might be these two files in the CHILDREN section:
Dollhouses-art    (15K)  3/ 6/01    Building miniature houses in period
styles
                                       by Margery La Affayte.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/CHILDREN/Dollhouses-art.html
dollhouses-msg     (9K)  4/ 3/01    Period and period-style dollhouses.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/CHILDREN/dollhouses-msg.html
dolls-msg         (17K)  7/ 1/99    Medieval fashion and toy dolls.
