Jan van der Westhuizen has just become the first South African to receive the honour of a Michelin Star for his restaurant, JAN.<\/p>\n

Situated in the South of France, the restaurant was also voted one of the best restaurants in the world by Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller in 2015.<\/p>\n

In March 2016, Struik Lifestyle, will be publishing Van der Westhuizen\u2019s new cookbook \u2013 JAN – A Breath of French Air<\/em>. It will also be available in Afrikaans as\u00a0JAN \u2013 My Franse Kosverhaal<\/em>. The book is a memoir and celebration of the renowned eatery.<\/p>\n

According to Struik, each chapter captures the mood and inspiration of what is served at JAN. Over 90 recipes cover everything from locally baked breads,\u00a0amuse bouche <\/em>and mouthwatering main courses to what the chefs eat after a long night in a hot kitchen.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re a lover of good food and beautiful cookbooks, diarise a date in March to head off to your local bookstore for a copy of the book.<\/p>\n
