AFAIK, it is not online, but Cariadoc publishes a completely separate
entity from the Miscellany: it is A Collection of Medieval and
Renaissance Cookbooks. It's a wonderful (and reasonably-priced)
compendium of faithfully produced (awright, they're teeny little
photocopies, but for the money, not at all bad) primary-or-near-primary
sources, including Le Menagier de Paris, The Forme of Cury, Digby, Plat,
A Proper Newe Boke of Cokerye, Al-Baghdadi, etc.

I have an older, one-volume edition; newer editions are two-volumes,
with more stuff in them.
