Also depends on what level you're aiming for. If you want practical, hands-on period cooking ideas for modern kitchens, I'd start with Odile Redon's 'the Medieval Kitchen' and Constance Hieatt's 'Pleyn Delit'. That gives you a glimpse of the English, French and Italian traditions. Barbara Santich's 'the Original Mediterranean Cuisine' and
