The earliest translated sources for Italian cooking (not counting
Apicius) I know about are 15th century--Platina is the end of the
century, Martino a little earlier. I think Anonimo Toscano and
Anonimo Veneziano are earlier, but I'm not sure. Is she working from
a secondary source that has earlier recipes?
