Hmmm... Navarre, IIRC, by the mid 1500s was part of Aragon.  (If anybody's
got better info, let me know.)  You'd do just as well using Spanish sources
from the same time period: de Nola, Granado, et al.  Plenty of tasty stuff
there.  When are you planning to do this shindig, and what sorts of things
are you looking to make (stews, roasts, sweets)?  There's a number of us who
have worked extensively with these sources, and who would be more than happy
to send you stuff.  All you have to do is ask!
