   @vitalis This may be a little too post-musket for your tastes, but "The accomplish’d lady’s delight in preserving, physick, beautifying and cookery : Containing, I, The art of preserving, and candying ... II, The physical cabinet ... and The art of angling. III, The compleat cooks guide ..." is a book from 1677 (with subsequent reprints) that includes a large amount of information about cooking and pickling and seasoning. The archive.org scans suck but the yale.edu reader sucks but there is a download button:

   It also contains a recipe for almond milk, which I thought was a relatively modern thing, but is apparently old.

     Lemme know if you try cooking anything from it. Some of the ingredients are obscure nowadays, some of the recipes are shockingly unchanged (except that you buy a sack of powdered gelatin instead of boiling deer antlers, a lot of jams/jellies are the same), some of them are interesting.
