BTW, here are some sources for general information about period Cooking:

Terence Scully, _The Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages_
The introductory material in Redon's _The Medieval Kitchen_
Bridget Henisch, _Fast and Feast: food in medieval society_. (University
Park : Pennsylvania State University Press, 1976)
 Food: a culinary history from antiquity to the present (NY: Columbia
University Press, 1996)
C. Anne Wilson, _Food and drink in Britain._ (Chicago : Academy Chicago
Publishers, 1991)

All the introductory material around the recipes and menus in _Le Menagier
de Paris_; the introductory material in De Nola; the material on cooking
in Platina, _On Right Pleasure and Good Health_. Manners books, such as
are incorporated in the Early English Text Society collection referred to
as _The Babee's Book_ after the first text in it, will tell you about the
duties of various officers in the household, including the cook.
