Not really.

There are several recipes identified as Jewish in the Anonymous 
Andalusian Cookbook, but that doesn't guarantee they are really 
Jewish. However, given the food rules of Muslims and Jews, the dishes 
are certainly potentially Jewish...

"A Drizzle of Honey" has recipes invented by the authors based on 
slim testimony against Jews by neighbors and servants in late 15th c. 
Spain, so they aren't really period Jewish recipes.

I have not noticed any recipes identified as Jewish in other European 
cookbooks.
