No, but it's next on my list of "get this from the library".
I'm a *happy* person today. I spent three hours at the local academic
library, slaving over a hot microfilm printer, and I now have several
texts on English 16C food and dining. I'll be transcribing, redacting
and cooking a bunch of them as time permits.
(This is what I get for discovering almost no 16C English texts
online... I figure *someone* has to do it :))
