Neat! I'm learning Dutch and can understand some of what's in that old cookbook, still not easy though. Kind of surprised at all of the spices it calls for...must have been food eaten by the wealthy. The old Dutch in that book looks a little like Frisian, as far as I can tell.

If you like this kind of stuff, there's a Dutch researcher who maintains a blog about old books, many of which are in old Dutch: https://medievalbooks.nl/ Sadly not updated in over a year, but there are a lot of gems in the archives.
