You might try a copy of _Eat and Be Satisfied_, A Social History of
Jewish Food by John Cooper, 1993, Jason Aronson, Inc. ISBN is
0-87668-316-2. It does not have recipes but it does list various
foods. Sample chapter headings are "Traditional Jewish Food in the
Middle Ages" (divided into Italy, Germany, France; and the Islamic
World), "Sabbath and Festival Food in the Middle Ages" (including meat
consumption), material on the Spanish Jews, the Dutch and Portuguese
Jews. I think the other chapters deal with later time periods. Seems
to me I got my copy from Poison Pen Press. Devra (I think) frequents
this list.
If you can find a copy of this book I think it will give you some good
documentation even if you need to use a modern recipe of a similar
name.
