As far as I know, there are no Jewish recipes in de Nola.  There is a 
recipe for "Moorish" eggplant which calls for bacon fat as an ingredient.  
At the very end of the recipe, de Nola suggests nonchalantly that one 
could substitute olive oil, since the Moors do not eat bacon.

The 13th century Andalusian cookbook in Cariadoc's collection has 
some recipes which claim to be Jewish.  Perhaps His Grace could 
comment on these.
