In this feature, we got Up Close and Personal, with author and culinary adventurer Cariema Isaacs. She gave us insights into the world of food.

Cariema shared how her journey began in the culturally rich neighbourhood of Bo-Kaap. Her appreciation for Cape Malay heritage blossomed, and her passion for cooking was nurtured in the warmth of her Ouma’s modest kitchen in Schotcheskloof.

Through her cookbooks, she shares the treasures of her Indonesian and Malaysian ancestral roots, brimming with tantalizing recipes infused with the flavours and traditions of Cape Malay cuisine.

Guest: Cariema Isaacs, Foodie, cookbook author and Cape Malay cusine expert
