I just did an article on this topic, so here's part of the scoop:
The complete citation is:**
Wang, Teresa and E.N. Anderson. “Ni Tsan and His 'Cloud Forest Hall
Collection of Rules for Drinking and Eating'.”/ Petits Propos
Culinaires. /[London: 1988] #60, pp. 24-41.
See also “Some remarks about the translation of Yun Lintang Yinshi Zhidu
Ji” published in /PPC/ #61 [pp. 38-41]/ /by Francoise Sabban, which
offers corrections and alternative translations.
If you are going to interlibrary loan this--- get both articles.
MORE importantly---
The Ni Tsan manuscript was later corrected and the translation improved.
That article appears as a chapter in:
Anderson, Eugene N., Teresa Wang, and Victor Mair. 2005./ /"Ni Zan,
Cloud Forest Hall Collection of Rules for Drinking and Eating."/ /in:
Victor Mair, Nancy Steinhardt and Paul R. Goldin (eds.),/ Hawai'i Reader
in Traditional Chinese Culture. /Honolulu, HI: University of Hawaii
Press. 2005. Pp. 444-455.
This can be interlibrary loaned although the book is not that common.
Also you should be aware that
Gene or Eugene Anderson is also the author of */The Food of China./
[**New Haven: Yale University Press. 1988.] That work is widely
available. Additional notes and updates may be found on Anderson’s
website:

Briefly I should mention that for Japanese fare and foods
there is this book:
Ishige, Naomi. /The history and culture of Japanese food/. London and
New York: Kegan Paul, 2001. 273 p. Surveys the origins of Japanese
diet and foodways and includes bibliographies. It’s not a cookbook with
recipes.
