South Carolina has been home to good, old-fashioned barbeque for quite a long time. Hundreds of restaurants, stands and food trucks sell tons of the southern staple every day. But the history of Palmetto State barbeque goes deeper than many might believe--it predates the rest of America. Native Americans barbequed pork on makeshift grills as far back as the 1500s after the Spanish introduced the pig into the Americas. Since the early 1920s, South Carolinians have been perfecting the craft and producing some of the best-tastin' 'que in the country. Join author and president of the South Carolina Barbeque Association Lake E. High Jr. as he traces the delectable history from its pre-colonial roots to a thriving modern-day tradition that fuels an endless debate over where to find the best plate.

Elke hoofstuk is steeds gestruktureer rondom een van die vele feeste wat die Kaapse Maleiers gereeld vier, met resepte van die spesiale disse wat vir spesiale geleenthede berei word. 'Nerens op aarde is daar nog 'n gemeenskap wat so graag fees vier as die Kaapse Maleiers nie; nerens op ons planeet 'n groep mense so toegewyd in hul danksegging aan die Almagtige vir die seeninge van die tafel nie ...' skryf dr MC D'arcy in die voorwoord van hierdie titel. Kaap-Maleise kos is lank reeds gewild onder Suid-Afrikaners in alle kringe. Hierdie titel bevat resepte vir die ou gunstelinge, sowel as minder bekende, maar ewe smullekker disse wat tradisioneel op die tafels van die Kaapse Maleiers te vinde is. Cass Abrahams Kook Kaap-Maleis spog met heelwat nuwe resepte, onder andere tradisionele disse van ander groepe in ons multi-kulturele gemeenskap, wat stelselmatig deel geword het van die Kaap-Maleise kostradisie. Daar is uitgebreide opdienwenke buite die Kaap-Maleise kulturele konteks, en die asemrowende nuwe kosfoto's fokus op individuele borde kos, onweerstaanbaar aantreklike voorgesit, liewer as die oorvloed van die tradisionele Kaap-Maleise tafel wat so kenmerkend aan hulle feesviering is. Met hierdie nuwe benadering hoop Cass om die smullekker geregte waarvan die resepte al meer as 300 jaar van geslag tot geslag oorgedra word, van die gesinstafel tot in die beste restaurante te neem sodat almal wat ons pragtige land besoek die unieke geure en smake van Suid-Afrika se eeue-oue kostradisies kan geniet.
