Breaking Bread at La Motte
Be it breakfast, brunch, lunch or a laidback afternoon drink – La Motte invites you for a cup of freshly brewed coffee and artisan bakes just out of the oven.
Food
Eat Like a Vegeterranean
In the Mediterranean – from Spain and Portugal, all along the coast through France, Italy, Greece, Turkey and the door of the Middle East through North Africa to Morocco – food is so much more than fuel. It’s pleasure.
High Cakes
Only when someone asked you especially do you need to bake your own cake, unless you want to. See it as an exercise in creativity.

Mise en Place
Mise en place is so ingrained in modern kitchens that it’s hard to believe there wasn’t always such a system in restaurants.
Beyond Organic
We urban dwellers are slaves to our labels. Certified organic, fair trade, free range… when we don’t grow our own, it’s all we have to go on.
Taking it Further
We so often overlook sauces, stocks, dressings and batters as a bridge we need to cross on the way to putting dinner on the table. But take a moment to consider how versatile they are.

First Impressions
When crafting the canapés, I like something a little whimsical, something that will put a smile on people’s faces, and few things get me as excited as when I see two classics meet up for the first time.
Changing Tides
The success of any business depends on the strength of its relationships with other, likeminded organisations. One of the JAN brand’s closest and most enduring partnerships has been with Ellerman House, a truly unique and special boutique hotel on the slopes of Bantry Bay in Cape Town.
