traveling allowed. :) The books you mention, what period are they from?
A quick online search at our Library doesn't show that they are
available locally, but I will have our Librarian do a state wide search
and see if see if she can find them. It's nice that our shires seneschal
is also a librarian. :) >>>

Well, you might want to take a look through these files and see if  
any of the online period cookbooks might be of use. These are mostly  
originals and translations but if you need redactions there may be  
some sites in this list with some. These are in the FOOD-BOOKS section.

Since you are thinking of doing a librarian do a state-wide search,  
are you interested in just period manuscripts or are you interested  
in books that have the authors redactions as well? This annotated  
bibliography in the same section might be useful to check for which  
books might be worth doing an ILL on.

Here are a pair of cookbooks in the FOOD-MANUSCRIPTS section that  
might be of use for your 15th century specification.
And they're available and free. I'm afraid I can't remember which  
cultures other than Greek and Spanish you were looking into.
