Actually, I wasn't familiar with those. There are apparently two from the Metropolitan Museum of Art - one from Richard II's time and one Elizabethan. (Incidentally, the Elizabethan era was a time of major culinary shift as well.)

I've made a bunch of the dishes from the one I have. Really tasty, actually. There are a number of things that are in the "regular" meal rotation.
