“Every story has a beginning. Mine started at tables of my mother and grandmother, where the notion of true South African hospitality seeped into my consciousness to become the foundation on which I would later build JAN. It is here that I learned the humble art of serving and creating a warm, welcoming space where people would feel special and escape the humdrum of everyday life to enjoy the singular pleasures of good company and delicious food.”
A Breath of French Air is a memoir and celebration of renowned eatery JAN, a South African restaurant in the south of France.
