For both of these questions I would recommend this file in the

FOOD-BOOKS section of the Florilegium:

cookbooks-bib     (40K)  6/ 9/01    Cookbook bib. by Mistress Jaelle of Armida.

http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/cookbooks-bib.html
Mistress Jaelle rates each book listed as to whether it is good or not.


There are also some reviews on specific books or manuscripts such as:
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (51K)  5/21/02    Reviews of cookbooks having Apicius recipes.
cb-rv-Platina-msg (21K)  2/21/01    Reviews of cookbooks having Platina recipes.

This one might also be good to look through:

cb-novices-msg    (13K) 10/14/98    Cookbooks for those new to medieval cooking.


And then there are the message files that discuss various books and

manuscripts which include messages from this list and others...
