I'm a librarian in mundane life, and I just spotted a review in the Dec.
21 issue of "Publishers Weekly" that is likely to be of interest to the
gentles on this list.  A cookbook is coming out in February:

Gitlitz, David, and Linda Kay Davidson, _A Drizzle of Honey: The Life and
Recipes of Spain's Secret Jews_ St. Martin's Press, $29.95 352 pages. 
ISBN 0-312-19860-4

According to the review the authors are professors at the Univ. of Rhode
Island.  The work is a cookbook of Spanish crypto-Jews -- Jews who
outwardly converted to Christianity in the late 15th century, while
secretly maintaining much of their original faith and customs.  There are
16 pages of endnotes and a 6-page bibliography.  The review indicates that
the book contains redacted recipes.  There is no indication how many
recipes appear in the book and if the original recipes are included.
_Drizzle of Honey_ is listed at amazon.com.
