Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen has partnered with @home and will be donning shelves with the iconic chef’s second edition of his book, JAN the Journal

Volume 2 in December. Much like his initial publication JAN the Journal, and his restaurant JAN in France, the second volume celebrates South Africa’s food, flavours and people, while also exploring some of his favourite places in Europe.

Through a combination of beautiful recipes, stories and photographs, Van der Westhuizen and his team continue their epicurean journey with his second issue.

With recipes inspired by a wide variety of cuisine – from traditional feasts to classic and down-to-earth South African fare – the stories in the second edition are equally diverse. In this issue, the book begins with an indulgent feast in a villa on the French Riviera that was once a retreat for artists like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.

As an ode to his late grandmother Maria, the book reiterates his special relationship with her and the impact she had on his development and passion as a chef. JAN the Journal Volume 2 is undoubtedly a collector’s item. – Citizen reporter
