Fatima Sydow is the Cape Malay cooking queen. Fatima Sydow Cooks is an ode to her authentic self and the delicious, flavoursome family food she loves to cook.

Think mussel curry, home-baked bread to mop up the creamy sauce, slow-braised, soft-as-butter short ribs, a real-deal masala steak sandwich and a hearty, wholesome oxtail stew.

A book for everyone, with a bit of Fatima magic – and a few novel twists to some of the classics.

In Cape Curry & Koesisters, twin sisters Fatima and Gadija takes us on a Cape Malay food trip, which is also a journey of life, as the recipes are linked with memories of their childhood on the Cape Flats. They believe in home cooking and recipes that are quick, easy and affordable. Easy, yet never boring, there's something for every taste and every occasion. Try your hand at their curries with sambals on the side and dhaltjies for a bit of bite.
