In the public domain of course, but many very interesting cook books for the recipes & procedures and historical perspective.
Here's a link from Michigan State U.
http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/browse.html
Another site I posted previously is www.archive.org/ where you need to click on 'texts' and then input 'cook book' (without the apostrophes) in the search box, and you'll get well over a thousand hits of complete cook books.
Gutenberg.org also ahs a bunch.
Good hunting.
