Boeka Treats Series 500 was launched in 2016 with the aim of presenting 500 recipes over 4 volumes with Savories & Soups (Vol 1), Biscuits, Breads & Cakes (Vol 2), Foods (Vol 3), and now Desserts (Vol 4). Boeka Treats Desserts has included 121 of the most popular, easy to make, ‘bake and take’ dessert recipes. If you are searching for an appropriate dessert for a thikr, bridal shower, birthday party or just a night at home with friends, we have it all in this volume of Boeka Treats. In days gone by the variety of desserts at Cape Muslim functions was rather limited and servings of potato pudding with stewed fruit as well as mince pie was the norm, commonly known as Poring & Pastei. Interestingly some desserts have a special association with an event, like milk tart at a doekmal(name-giving) or boeber on the 15th night of Ramadaan. Occasions like engagements, weddings, baby showers or birthday parties usually calls for desserts like trifles, fruit puddings, pavlovas and chocolate treats. The variety in the tastes and textures, the colourful jellies, the decorative fruits and the richness of the desserts signified the positive emotions of gratitude, joy, contentment and happiness felt by all. And as the years pass by we see how Boeka Treats recipes from 20 years ago have evolved into delicious combination desserts from a cheesecake and a brownie to a Cheesecake-Brownie or an éclair that is fried and not baked converted into trendy Churros dipped in cinnamon sugar and chocolate. So navigate your way through this book, simply decide whether you want to bake something in the oven or not. These are classified as Baked Desserts and No-bake Desserts. Further categories include Hot & Cold Beverages, Sweet Treats and Konfyts. All the recipes in the various categories are listed in the alphabetical order for ease of reference. Alhamdulillah over the past 20 years Boeka Treats has been welcomed with widespread enthusiasm and excitement. Its contents will delight future generations, with recipes that have been recorded for posterity, and recipes that will evolve and be reinvented for generations to come, InshaAllah.
