First: Thanks for the detailed report on your finding! I enjoyed reading
it.
Speaking of the daily food of artists, the diary of Pontormo (1554-56)
comes to mind. I have a German translation, but the translator left out
major portions, stating that it contained "only reports on food and
dishes". I know that there is a 1956 Italian edition and a 1996
fac-simile of Pontormo's diary, but I did not see them yet.
Parts of the text are online in English at:

(is there a complete version anywhere??)
Now: does anybody know if and where the diet and food habits of this
artist has been portrayed in some detail?
