Which "genre" are you talking about specifically? Cookbooks with period 
recipes? Cookbooks with period recipes for beginners? Cookbooks with 
period recipes for beginning cooks?

What cookbook would you recommend for the latter two? Especially the 
last? Does it have a list of items that these folks can pick up from 
the grocery and use at an SCA pot luck which are at least 
psuedo-medieval? I'd be happy to try to do my part in helping new cooks 
get into period cooking by using the Florilegium, if someone wants to 
create a bibliography or an article on this subject.

Or, I do have a small file of easy recipes and redactions for folks new 
to cooking as well as period cooking, and additions to this would be 
welcome. Actually some of these aren't bad for more experienced cooks 
who are trying to come up with something period at the last minute for 
a pot-luck, as I was earlier this holiday season.
