In this book Fatima takes us on a nostalgic journey through her memories of the many important feasts celebrated in her Cape Malay culture. Starting with old-school family recipes from her upbringing on the Cape Flats she shares stories of Ramadaan, Labarang, a wedding in the community and fond recollections of the festive season. Woven through her memories are recipes for salt and pepper chicken, bean curry, Ramadaan boeka plates, Labarang sweet treats, desserts – and her ultimate braai ideas.
