Check these annotated bibliographies in the FOOD-BOOKS section of the
Florilegium:
cookbooks-bib     (40K)  6/ 9/01    Cookbook bib. by Mistress 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.

Mistress Jaelle just recently updated her bibliography and that has been
the prime one I've recommended in the past.

For books about food, rather than cookbooks, read through this file:
books-food-msg    (91K)  3/26/01    Books about food. Not cookbooks.

Although not a list of books, but rather messages recommending certain
books, this file might also be of use since you mention looking for
books for a beginning cook:
cb-novices-msg    (13K) 10/14/98    Cookbooks for those new to medieval cooking.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll have to print Jaelle's off to bring with
me to Pennsic.
