That would depend on whether they cooked for a poor household or a rich and noble family. Cooking for ordinary people and cooking for the aristocracy/nobility were two very different things.
Society, in medieval times, comprised three estates of the realm: nobility, clergy, and commoners/peasants. The types of foods eaten by commoners/peasants were bland and basic compared to those eaten by the nobility. Most people grew or reared their own food as far as possible. Foods that they could not grow or cultivate could only be obtained through barter, or purchase if they had money.
The poorer classes cooked such foods as gruel, porridge and dark bread made from oats, barley, and rye, along with vegetable pottage (a soup/stew, thickened with oats). Those were the common staple foods of the lower classes. They ate them along with fava beans, plus a little salt pork, chicken and cheese if they could afford them or had the wherewithal to rear animals.
In addition, they made a variety of vegetable pottage, depending on what they had, the region they lived in, and seasonal availability. Pottage was also made with peas, beans, and other legumes. The poorer classes living near water or the sea could often eat better. They could eat a variety of freshwater or Saltwater Fish if they were free to catch their own supply. Meat was expensive. The poorer classes only occasionally had meat (other than what they could rear).
Whereas, an extravaganza of meat dishes was always made available for the nobility. Usually a choice of three or four meat dishes were cooked for each meal, including breakfast, along with a choice of fish dishes, vegetables, fruits, and pies such as pigeon or woodcock. Game dishes were also common only on the tables of the nobility along with elaborate sugar desserts, finer wheat products, and exotic spices gathered from many parts of the world. Because spices had to be brought such great distances, it made them expensive. Spices were highly prized for flavoring in the middle ages, but they were way beyond the means of the poor.
