<<< I'd like to put it in my class bibliography as a good book for beginners
to read, but am also open to other suggestions about general books that
are not cookbooks that consider the renaissance era specifically.>>>
I do have this file in the FOOD-BOOKS section of the Florilegium, which discusses many books about foods and sometimes gives more extensive reviews of them.
books-food-msg (213K) 5/16/10 Books about food. Not cookbooks.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/books-food-msg.html
The cookbook equivalents cover cookbookX-msg, where x is 1 through 6.
As time permits I am trying to gather the multiple comments about individual cookbooks into their own files, such as this recent one:
M-Wash-Cookbk-art (25K) 5/31/10 Reviews and comments on Martha Washington's Book of Cookery.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/FOOD-BOOKS/M-Wash-Cookbk-msg.html
There are also several annotated bibliographies in that section that probably include cookbooks as well as books about food. This is probably the most-extensive, so you might start with this one.
cookbooks-bib (44K) 2/15/04 Cookbook bib. by Mistress Jaelle of Armida.
