Cape Malay cooking class 🎀 @unexplored_capetown Have you heard of Cape Malays and their history? To know Cape Town is to know the Cape Malay community and their stories!! Brought here in the 1600s from South Southeast Asia through Dutch slavery and exile (😒), they’ve shaped the city in SO many ways: religion, music, language, apartheid resistance, and of course, food 🍽️ Their cuisine has significantly contributed to South African cuisine with a blend of flavors from Asia, Africa, and Europe.
