That you’ll never find on google.
Where is the actual source for this book? It's 500 years old and we have the internet, it should be the easiest thing to find a PDF of this. For some reason there isn't a link for the book and some of the sources you have to sign in to view it.

godecookery.com is the first result if I type "translation of the boke of gode cokery" into google. What were you hoping for? That it would be a top result for the query "good recipes"? That seems unreasonable.
