For some actual period recipes, you might want to look at this file in the
FEAST section of my Florilegium:
p-menus-msg       (19K)  1/ 7/00    Examples of medieval feast menus.

The cheese dip recipe that Marian gave sounds like Savory-Tosted Cheese.
Various versions of this and the original recipe can be found in this
file 
in the FOOD section:
cheese-msg       (119K) 12/ 7/99    Medieval cheese. Recipes.
