Ana,

I am in no way an expert in period Islamic cuisine, but I believe that 
the dishes on this website are traditional, rather than medieval.  
Several of them contain New World ingredients, such as tomato, 
capsicum pepper, vanilla, and potato.  Some of them have no 
obvious modern ingredients and *might* be period, such as the 
tagine with prunes, lamb with eggplant, or the chicken with olives, 
but I don't know enough to be sure.
