There is this site from Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia:

http://www.history.org/Almanack/life/food/foodhdr.cfm

or look at the original Fanny Farmer Cookbook, circa 1896, which was
designed for a ladies school teaching immigrants to the USA how to cook
their regional foods using local ingredients.

The Old White House Cookbook is a tad more fru-fru but still has some
interesting information. And the tradtional Senate Bean Soup was surely an
inspiration to my fathers Navy Bean Soup.

If you want to go as far back as the Renaissance there are recipes for those
things too, although there probably aren't any cookbooks just lying around.
There are re-creations.
