[Sca-cooks] Any suggestions?

With regard to 15th century Florence
and the Medici's, you might want to bookmark
and investigate the following:

http://www.medici.org/medicior/hum/topics/foodwine.htm

It's from the Medici Archive Project.
Their section on "FOOD AND WINE" focuses on social and
 cultural behavior as well as the specifics of food
 acquisition, preparation and presentation. This
 includes: descriptions of meals (including table
 decoration and service); specific dishes and notable
 ingredients, etc.

The archives date from the 1500's. I can't tell exactly
what 15th century material is included.
