About the only one I know of that would fit your description is the
Epulario, or The Italian Banquet,1568, an English translation, published
in England in 1568, probably of Bernard Scappi's Epulario, which was
adapted from Martino...both of which happened during the 15th century.
I don't know if this is what you're looking for or not. The copy I have
was published by Falconwood Press, so I'm not sure if it's still available.
