MY AT-HOME RECIPES

EASY PEASY
JAN-Kellogs Beetroot Roulade

Potpourri and Beetroot Roulade

Sometimes, we have to indulge something just because it’s a thing of beauty. If it sounds weird to you, beetroot’s use in dessert is not at all unusual.

get the recipe
JAN-Forage and Feast Salmon_Feature

Butter-poached Salmon and Squid Stew

Who said chefs don’t take shortcuts? At home, it’s all about kicking back a bit instead of spending hours and hours in the kitchen.

get the recipe
JAN - Bobotie Cake-5_Feature

Crispy Bobotie Chip

Ever heard of a bobotie and rice chip? You have now! My new favourite starter.

get the recipe
JAN-Artichoke Salad

Artichoke and Spekboom Salad

This recipe is my swan song to winter. Depending on the year, you don’t always get artichokes by late winter, but when you do it’s an event!

get the recipe
JAN-Kellogs Giant Cookie

Kellogg’s All-In-One Cookie

I could never condone binge eating (and get away with it), but if you were to gobble up, say, five of these in one sitting, would it be so bad?

get the recipe
JAN-Soetkoekies

Cinnamon Smoked Soetkoekies

You might have heard of burnt butter, but have you ever tried making your own smoked butter?

get the recipe
JAN-Doekpoeding_Feature

Doekpoeding

If you’ve never heard of it, the doekpoeding is very similar to a fruit cake, but not as involved. It does boast one of the longest ingredients lists but it’s worth every rich mouthful of nostalgia!

get the recipe
JAN-Forage and Feast Fish cakes_Feature

Fish Cakes with Pommes Purée

Fish and chips always makes me feel like I’m on holiday. And although this dish isn’t exactly the same thing, it definitely gets its inspiration from the original seaside treat.

JAN - High Tea-Custard Choux Buns

JAN - Apple Cake

Apple and Pistachio Tart

This apple tart has been my personal go-to for more than 10 years.

get the recipe
JAN - Orange and Fig Cake-9937

Glazed Fig and Orange Loaf Cake

Always have a loaf cake tucked away in the freezer that you can take out a couple of hours before the time (it defrosts very quickly) and give it a glamorous makeover.

get the recipe
JAN-Hot Cross Bun Mosbolletjie

Mosbolletjie Hot Cross Buns

Mosbolletjies are a staple at every JAN destination. From the Cape and Kalahari to Nice in France, I have yet to meet someone who hasn’t fallen head over heels in love with them.

get the recipe
JAN - Plant-based milk tart-8535

Milk Tart with Rice Pudding Shell

I probably used to be more of a milk tart purist, but how can I be? I’ve used it as inspiration in a number of dishes at my restaurants – even a martini.

get the recipe
JAN - Baguette and foie gras-1

Chicken Liver Pâté and French Baguette

The whole point of a picnic is to be casual about it, unfussy – a literal walk in the park. Or is it?

JAN-Kellogs Giant Cookie

Kellogg’s All-In-One Cookie

Klein JAN_Hanfred Rauch_June 2023-3

Lemon and Rooibos Trifle

When coming up with new recipe ideas, one of my favourite things is to take one idea and flip it on its head. In this case, it’s two things.

get the recipe
JAN-Moerkoffie Melkkos

Koffie Melkkos

On the farm, this was a big breakfast treat, especially on Saturday mornings when there was nowhere to go in a rush.

get the recipe
JAN-Chocolate and Beetroot Gateaux

Chocolate Mousse with Beetroot Marshmallow

This delectable charmer challenges our idea of what constitutes a dessert (just when we thought beetroot had no more surprises left up its sleeve)

JAN-Lamb and Date Chutney Bredie_Feature

Lamb and Date Chutney Stew

This recipe is my love song to the Karoo and Kalahari. The most comforting meals are often the simplest and most wholesome, and this stew ticks both boxes.

JAN-Checkers Italian Padkos

Italian Padkos

With a few tweaks, you can turn your padkos into a feast that even an Italian would love.

JAN-Bonsmara Beef Stew-Thumbnail

Bonsmara Beef Stew with Self-Saucing Rice Dumplings

There are countless self-saucing puddings out there, but I’ve never come across a self-saucing rice.

JAN-Leg of Lamb

Roast Leg of Lamb

When it comes to the big holidays, I like to indulge in a little tradition. When a feast is this good, you let it tell its own story.

JAN Forage & Feast Gnocci JPG

Potato Gnocchi and Caponata with Lamb Stew

One question I get asked more times than I can remember is, “What do you eat at home?” It’s true, we chefs have a different relationship with food…

JAN-Pastorie Hoender_thumb

Pastorie Hoender

I grew up on pastorie hoender (directly translated as parsonage chicken), which in my mind is the one-pot-wonder to rule them all.

JAN-Traditional Feast Roast Chicken

Traditional Easter Feast

Over the Easter period, some of us opt for leg of lamb while others go for hot cross buns and pickled fish. Why not roast chicken for a change?

Get the recipe
JAN-Ostrich_Feature

Spiced Ostrich Steak Salad

Ostrich is by no means a recent addition to the South African palate. We cultivated a taste for it years ago, but my rule of thumb is that if you can cook ostrich, you can cook any game meat.

JAN-Kellogs Smoked Trout Breakfast Salt

Smoked Trout with Poached Egg

The “breakfast salt” in this recipe hits all the right notes, from a comforting Corn Flakes flavour infusion to a welcome kick of crunch.

JAN - Haddock Velouté--2

Nasturtium and Haddock Soup

My haddock velouté made its début at JAN many years ago and I could see immediately that we had a hit on our hands.

JAN - Seared Tuna Salad-

Sesame Seared Tuna and Rice Salad

I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t that trusty, tuna-from-a-can salad we keep on hand when we don’t want to make too much work for ourselves.

JAN-Steamed Mussels

White Wine Steamed Mussels with Beurre Blanc Sauce

Moules marinière is one of the most popular dishes in France. For this recipe, however, I took inspiration from Julia Child, who made her mussels with beurre blanc.

JAN - SPEKKO Winter Salad_Feature

Jerusalem Artichoke Winter Rice Salad

My absolute favourite part about a Jerusalem artichoke is its smell. When it’s raw, it smells like petrichor, the smell of rain falling on dry earth.

get the recipe
JAN-Cauliflower and Parmesan Gratin

Cauliflower and Parmesan Gratin

Few things crank up the comfort factor quite like a potato. But whenever I opt for a starchy spud, I often ask myself whether I’ve explored every other option.

JAN-Mushroom Pie

Wild Mushroom and Grain Pot Pie

When someone uses the word “earthy” to describe a flavour, what’s the first thing you think about? For me, it’s mushrooms, without fail…

JAN - Tomato Salad-8280

Heirloom Tomato Salad with Tomato Chutney

So simple, yet so luxurious. The sight of a generous platter of heirloom tomatoes puts us in mind of a scene out of Under the Tuscan Sun, but beyond their scene-stealing gorgeousness, they really are a miracle.
