"This is a traditional South African recipe, which comes from the great culinary tradition of the Cape Malays -- originally brought in as slaves in the 17th century. It's easy and plain, but great with meats like venison, corned beef tongue or any meat with gravy. Recipe courtesy of Allrecipes. Posted for Zaar World Tour II."

"These fritters can be made either as a dessert and served with cinnamon-sugar, or as a side dish with venison or ham, and they go surprisingly well with fish! The sweetness-with-spice is typical of the cooking style of the then Malay slaves. It's a down-home comfort dish and ideal for left-over pumpkin."

Ingredients: cinnamon sugar, eggs...

"A very different way to spice up the same old chicken! Plus a name that may unspire kids to get excited about the recipe! I found this recipe while searching the web. Minor changes have been made to make this even better! NOTE: One pound shelled and deveined shrimp can be added to or substituted for the chicken."

Ingredients: coconut milk, garlic cloves...

"Recently enjoyed my first meal at a local South African restaurant here in Brooklyn. There we enjoyed this fabulous side dish - a spicy revamped rendition of baked beans. Of course, this sent me in search of a recipe to prepare at home. Found this one on the Internet and plan to try it soon. The original called for three times the amount of oil..."

"Another traditional South African dish, derived from the spicy cuisine of Malay slaves brought to the Cape of Good Hope by Dutch colonialists.
Do not be put off by the list of ingredients, preparation is really quite simple and not at all time-consuming. The end result is well worth the effort."

Ingredients: curry powder, fruit chutney...

"This is a South African recipe (from Magdaleen van Wyk's The Complete South African Cookbook), something my mom used to make. Pumpkins abound at the moment, so I thought I'd share it with everyone. They are really delicious. Let me know what you think!"

"Very traditional 'deep-fried breadrolls'; sounds weird but unbelievably good.
We grew up with these at least once a week: either filled with curried 'mince' (ground beef) (these we called curry bunnies); or just halved and spread with butter and preserves or syrup. Yumm."

Ingredients: fast-rising active dry yeast, oil...

"This is a firm family favourite. My mother use to make this with surplus milk (even if the milk was a little sour). It gets more firm the cooler it gets - so give it a chance to set once cooked. I don't think that it needs custard or cream or ice cream with it...besides you won't just want 1 helping!!!"

Ingredients: eggs, margarine, milk...
