Here are the files on this in the Florilegium that I think might apply.
In the FOOD-BOOKS section:
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (37K) 4/20/00 Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
cb-rv-Platina-msg (21K) 2/21/01 Reviews of cookbooks having Platina recipes.
p-Italy-food-bib (9K) 12/ 1/99 Bibliographies on period Italian food.
Platina-bib (7K) 11/ 7/00 A bibliography on Bartolomeo Platina
by
Thomas Gloning.
In the FOOD-BY-REGION section:
fd-Italy-msg (16K) 9/29/98 Period Italian food. Cookbooks.
In the FOOD section:

You might also find the NEWCOMERS and the PERSONA section to be of interest.

In it's current form, I think the answer is no. However I would check these
files:
In the FOOD-SWEETS section:
desserts-msg (112K) 1/12/01 Medieval and SCA dessert recipes. Sweets.
In the FOOD section:
pastries-msg (105K) 4/ 3/00 Medieval pastries. Recipes.

I came into this group knowing very little about period cooking and even
less about modern cooking and have learned quite a lot in the almost
four
years the list has been in existance.
I hope this helps.
