This certainly would be  of value if only for one reason alone: It would show
medieval food is good for you. :-)

I would also prominently remind people that  olive oil was being substituted
for lard if the original does not indicate  such a substitution. While other
fats can be substituted for lard in certain recipes such substitutions not
only change the final flavor of the dish but also takes it from the realms of
a period recipe to a modern recipe based on a a period source.

A thought...
