>Does any one have sources for period food in this time period?

Platina is late 14th century; there are two published translations.

Martino is a little earlier in the century. There's a published
Italian text included in a larger book. I don't think there is a
published translation, but some people were working on one so I might
be wrong.

The same Italian book that has Martino has a couple of earlier
manuscripts, one Venetian and one Florentine; I'm not sure if they
are 13th or 14th century. I don't think there is a published
translation of either. I don't suppose you read Italian?

There are some published secondary sources that other people are more
familiar with than I am that might also be useful. Hope that helps.
