Look at _Du Fait de Cuisine_ (1420, French--not too far off what you
want); my translation is on Cariadoc's website and there exists a
professional one by Terrance Scully. It describes some subtleties or
"entremets" which are elaborate past anything I've seen or heard of
at SCA feasts.

Hmm.  Sounds like the place to look.  Elizabeth, can you send me a direct
link to where your translation is?  Otherwise I shall spend half the day at
Cariadoc's site and get nothing done with my day (my boss hates that).
