A real treat for the senses in every respect. From being flown up in Tswalu\u2019s private jet, to dining at Klein Jan and spending time in Jess\u2019s little house at the edge of the bushveld. Priceless!! Thank you for organising this Jess, I\u2019m so proud of you \ud83e\udd17\u2018.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Jo offered to tell me more, and telephonically the proud mom shared more information about her 25 year old daughter. Jess had studied Law initially, but dropped out, realising that cheffing is her passion. She studied at Silwood, from which she graduated with distinction, and was placed at JAN Innovation Studio in Cape Town as an intern during her studies. In this time, she was sent to Tswalu, to forage herbs and other produce in the desert with the Bushman, an invaluable experience. She compiled a Tasting Menu, which was tested and tasted by the Oppenheimers, owners of Tswalu. \u00a0She and Chef Josie Romer-Lee are Commis Chefs, reporting to Head Chef Etienne Wessels, who moved across from a resort in the Seychelles, the Chefs working in a small team of four.<\/p>\n<p>Jo has promised to send me some food photographs, which I will post next week.<\/p>\n<p><a

Facebook:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018<i>The thing about dining at Klein Jan is the layering. I thought I\u2019d arrived (pun intended) when I relaxed into a sheepskin chair, sipping Orange River Cellars Brut at a linen-draped table on the verandah of the old Bosnia farm house. But no. Through the century-old room \u2013 preprandial snack en route, if I recall \u2013 and out into the backyard, where the old Karoo windmill stands sentinel. A hidden door in the corrugated plaasdam pulled back to reveal a spiral staircase, backdropped by a curtain of water (to infuse the space with \u2018petrichor, the smell of rain falling on dry earth\u2019). Down we went, Russel and I, four meters into the earth, to the start of a 20m arch-roofed \u2018root\u2019 cellar. Shelf after shelf, loaded with local produce: pumpkins, cheese, nuts, meat, pickles, wheat, honey, wine \u2013 the pride in the surprising bounty of the Kalahari made palpable, and bookended on the other side by a \u2018library kitchen\u2019&#8230; several breads and a pumpkin soup, heated on Jan\u2019s family stove, provenance of all explained, and on it goes, a visual feast leading you finally into the dining room \u2013 open to the Kalahari plains; a wall of liquor to delight the Afrikaner heart before the sit down part starts \u2026 a puree of \u2018Eben se Wenwors\u2019, sourced by Tannie Daleen from Upington Slaghuis, followed by \u2018ten plates\u2019 of tapas style Kalahari delicacies &#8230; a couple of desserts, skipped by us in favour of a delicious array of cheese, hobby of local grape farmer Tiaan Visser. A hybrid theatre-dining experience that nourishes so much more than just the belly, made all the more remarkable for launching now.<br \/>\nBookings for Restaurant Klein JAN opened in April to guests of Tswalu; from May it is open to day visitors for lunch at R2000pp.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>@restaurantkleinjan @tswalu @tswalufoundation @imaginetravels \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd\u2018<\/i><\/p>\n<p>She posted a number of photographs too, but none of the Tasting Menu dishes :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-211556\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/D3709C6A-379C-41FF-AE5F-5ED6414AC0B1.jpeg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-211557\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FC9149F9-118E-4EA7-8BFB-53B87229690F.jpeg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-211558\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/A9E24F1C-E418-4A51-97A0-C95A08D87D8F.jpeg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Flying to Tswalu by private jet would be the only feasible way to get to KLEIN JAN, almost 1000 km from Cape Town.
