La Varenne is out in the new translation by Terence Scully.


      La Varenne's Cookery: The French Cook; The French Pastry Chef; The
      French Confectioner


        by Francois Pierre de la Varenne, translated and with a
        commentary by Terence Scully

I carried a copy back from the Leeds Conference. It was actually
first translated into English back in the 1650's as The French Cook by 
Francois Pierre La Varenne

[Published in 1651,] and that edition is also out and available in a 
hardcover edition.

David Brown actually sells both.
