    Cape Malay Cooking & Other Delights Ramadan Recipes 1432AH Salwaa Smith 1 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION Pg3 Page BREAKFAST 4 - 6 30 SOUPS 7 - 11 SAVOURIES 12 - 26 MAIN DISHES 27 - 33 CONDIMENTS 34 - 36 BREAD 37 - 42 DESSERTS / CAKES 43 - 50 MEASURING BASICS 51 2 Introduction Everyday Cape Malay Food Cape Malay cuisine originates from a colourful history of intermingling cultures brought together by the 17th-century slave trade. Malay cuisine is characterised by the liberal intermingling of spices and the influence of Indian, Dutch and French traditional food as well as the predominance of the Islamic religion. The history of Cape Malay cuisine in South Africa begins with the involuntary migration of Africans, Asians and Indonesians around the world, and with it their diverse origins and culinary techniques. The name 'Cape Malay' refers to followers of the Islamic faith and encompasses a rich culture of Eastern juxtaposed by Western heritage. The month of Ramadan is a great month. It is the month in which Allah revealed the Quran as a guidance for the whole of mankind. It is the month in which Allah gave the Muslims victory in their first and greatest battle at Badr. It is the month which has Laylat al- Qadr, a night which is better than a thousand months. www.facebook.com/capemalay.cooking www.facebook.com/ramadanrecipes 3 Breakfast `Amr Ibn al-`Aas reported that the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "The distinction between our fasting and the fasting of the people of the book [Jews and Christians] is the taking of Suhoor".

    Oxford journal [Page 1] MEDLEY: DEC.1965, circa 22nd. one song running into another, the things we did. Last summer where our revels were ended & a new phase arrived: what cacophonies of sound, what sights I saw (& more must?). At once the Bard & G.M.H., that early bird of youth! So eclectic, in a manner of speaking ... Tonight at 6.25 the big pull is towards my Newfoundland -- only Donne had found the knack & I drawn to ye olde Mitre Inn (Tuxx Tavern) for the pleasure of your company, girl. Shall spend money & maybe find one bird, but the aching pleasure will not prolong itself beyond a rhapsodic climacteric (?) in Macdonald's empty flat to which I have the key & where these discursive double-thinks are being committed to paper. Lone- liness will gnaw at the heart in the after-hours -- agony that after the dream of consummation flesh forces the spirit into redoubled energy to flow back into the stream of chaos which strangely is the only sanity in a world of mirrors & a wilderness of walls. As I take it Keats says. Sweet though in sadness let me ramble on: where ended? When Largo Johnson tempted Norks into a bibulous Oudemeester orgy after that terrifically disciplined probationary teaching period: Jan. 1--26. He was going to "hook", eventually did, apparently to Sal's disgust & family sneers. But wasn't Noreen's wedding just as dry?

  • Hoofstuk 3 Registeruitbreiding Deur Middel Van Termskepping
    HOOFSTUK 3 REGISTERUITBREIDING DEUR MIDDEL VAN TERMSKEPPING 3.1 Inleiding Ook wat die vroueregister betref, is daar sedert die begin van die twintigste eeu ? wetenskaplike poging aangewend om die vaktaalleksikon te moderniseer en te standaardiseer deur die skep van eksakte terme en die verspreiding daarvan deur middel van termlyste en woordeboeke. (Vgl. hoofstuk 9.) As gevolg van ? gebrek aan personeel en kundigheid (vgl. Cluver 1975: 343) was termskepping in Afrikaans nie beperk tot die wetenskaplike bedryf van terminoloë nie. Joernaliste en vertalers moes onder druk van die kommunikatiewe eise van hul medium die funksie van termskeppers vervul, veral waar hulle onmiddellik Afrikaanse ekwivalente van Engelse terme moes vind. Dit is nie iets wat gestruktureerd en sistematies plaasgevind het nie, met die gevolg dat verskillende weergawes van een term deur verskillende persgroepe gebruik is. Dit is vandag nog die geval en ? voorbeeld hier is balsamic vinegar wat onderskeidelik as ‘balsamiese asyn’ (suide), ‘balsemiekasyn’ (noorde) en ‘balsemasyn’ (suide) gebruik word. Die spraakgemeenskap skep ook hul eie weergawes van Engelse terme en so kom daar byvoorbeeld tegelykertyd ? woord soos ‘botterneut’ in die spreektaal en ‘botterskorsie’ in versorgde skryftaal as vertaalekwivalente van butternut (? pampoensoort) tot stand. Om die werking van ad hoc-woordskepping teenoor terminologiese aktiwiteit duidelik af te baken, is dit nodig om eers die begrip ‘term’ soos dit in hierdie studie aanvaar word te omskryf. 3.2 Die begrip ‘term’ omskryf Ter aanvang is dit nodig om ? aantal definisies van terme van nader te beskou. 62 Picht en Draskau (1985: 97) onderskei soos volg tussen terme en woorde: “The characteristics of the term which distinguish it from the non-term are precision and the fact that it belongs to a system of terms.” Wat hier van belang is, is die nadruk wat op presisie gelê word, sowel as op die sistematiese aard van die term wat uitdrukking gee aan ? stelsel van konsepte.
