Early Tudor or late Tudor/Elizabethan?
For Henry VIII--
You should get a copy of Peter Brears'
All the King's Cooks. The Tudor Kitchens
of King henry VIII at Hampton Court Palace.
1999. ISBN: 02850635336.
It's a great examination of the court kitchens
with recipes and photos and advice and history.
It's a great book. Bibliography will help with
other sources.
For Elizabeth--
Madge Lorwin's Dining with William Shakespeare.
1976 Out of print. Check your library.
There are a number of original cookbooks that were
printed 1500-1600 that are available. If you can
narrow the timespan, titles can be provided. Several
are on the internet already. Some are in reprints or
facsimile editions.

Hope this helps.
