Book Description

GYPSY FEAST showcases the little-known cuisine of the Romany people or Gypsies, descendents of the ancient warrior classes of Northern India who trekked westwards around A.D. 1000. Although they were, and still are, often referred to as "gypsies," their correct and preferred name is Roma. Their migration took them through Persia and Armenia, into Europe and later to the Americas. Today, the Roma live scattered throughout the world. Roma foodways were traditionally determined by their nomadic way of life. Thus, the cuisine came to include whatever was readily available, such as wild fruits and vegetables, berries, herbs, flowers, fish and shellfish, and wild game. In this extensively researched book, author Carol Wilson includes recipes that have survived through the centuries, frequently undergoing adaptation to meet the tastes of a particular time or place.
