Usually only by looking within specific cookbooks.  My translation of
Viandier indexes all mentions of ingredients (including spices), which
then takes you to the page (though not to the specific recipe) where
the spice is used.

Many cookbooks, unfortunately, do not provide such an index by
ingredient.

Pine nuts (probably as a paste), galingale, and grains of paradise are
used in recipes in Viandier.  If 'poudre forte' is the same as 'spice
powder', which is my belief, then you would also find poudre forte used
in recipes in Viandier.
