Our expectations were high, given the caliber of Jackie and Chef Jan-Hendrik, who had worked together at Elle magazine. We were requested to be inspired by the dresscode of a bow tie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Salon58 event was held at the Old Tannery outside Wellington, and it gave me a nostalgic opportunity to revisit my old hometown, and to drive past the house in which I grew up. The tannery on the outskirts of the town used to create a dreadful smell when the northwest wind blew. The tannery has stopped operation. Chef Jan-Hendrik\u2019s husband Grant Bacon introduced me to his father at the event, and he told me that the tannery had once belonged to his family. Grant\u2019s father is one of three investors who have bought the complex, and plan to renovate it, and to let it to businesses, including a rum distillery, and to create an events venue out of some of the space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My initial impression of the first building which we entered was one of disappointment, it being a neglected interior of a very spacious building, which appeared abandoned, and as if a fire had damaged the interior.

Jackie said that since she was involved in Chef Jan-Hendrik\u2019s first book in 2013, she has wanted to collaborate with Chef Jan-Hendrik. She referred to the theme of \u2018Trace\u2019 again, saying that it is a celebration of origin, there not being a future without acknowledging the past. She said that on the eve of Christmas, with stress created with interacting with the family, one being tired, and there being overconsumption, it is a good time to create a community with those seated near one at the long table. She encouraged us to reach out, and I am glad that I did, meeting a couple from Somerset West, who are avid viewers of JAN TV series. Jackie said one should find what is precious in one\u2019s life, it not being the size of the gift or who made the best Christmas dish that is important. She encouraged us to be spontaneous and to show love in the Festive Season. She expressed gratitude for the collaborators of Salon58, all falling in love with the ancient building dating back to 1871, which had been home to an artisanal business in the past. Chef Jan-Hendrik added his gratitude to the organisers of the event, mentioning Jackie, Alwijn, and Deon.

He replied that \u2018<i>nakedness is fun<\/i>\u2019, but that he does buy socks at a Calvin Klein secret socks shop in Nice. He asked why one should spoil a good shoe with socks.<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; Which country\u2019s cuisine would he like to discover more of? He replied that it is Spain, but that South African food will always be his core love.<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; Which is his favorite home-cooked meal? His reply was that it is government white bread with thick butter topped with peanut butter, after putting it into the microwave for four seconds. It is his favorite midnight snack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; Jackie asked him how the French would react to this Salon? He replied that \u2018<i>we<\/i> (South Africans) <i>are more fancy than the French<\/i>\u2019, and that \u2018<i>we do French better than the French<\/i>\u2019. &nbsp;The French do Soirees, which bring people together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; He was asked if the recipes&nbsp;of the food served at Salon58 would feature in a next cookbook? Chef Jan-Hendrik said that he is not working on a cookbook&nbsp;at the moment but there is an exciting project. The recipes will be in that project.<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; Jackie spoke about the importance of mentorships, Chef Jan-Hendrik having joined Elle as an intern to Jackie. He created an image for a tribal outfit by shooting it at the Taal Monument as he could not source one, and the image has been used locally, as well as in Elle China, and Elle India, a huge achievement.<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; Have expectations of his food increased since his success? &nbsp;Chef Jan-Hendrik said that he could never have expected such a global reaction, starting with the New York Times writing about his Bobotie dish. He is holding on to his roots. His mother regularly reminds him that JAN is just a restaurant. It is good to be surrounded by people who support him, and he praised Grant in particular for being so patient and humble with him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-96480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5F517C46-B959-440E-984F-C216E57B5CEF.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5F517C46-B959-440E-984F-C216E57B5CEF.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5F517C46-B959-440E-984F-C216E57B5CEF.jpeg?resize=113%2C150&amp;ssl=1 113w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/5F517C46-B959-440E-984F-C216E57B5CEF.jpeg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>Jackie did not ask the rest of the questions in the collection, so when she asked for more questions from the floor, I grabbed the opportunity to ask him my question about his South African restaurant, which he hinted at strongly at the launch of the JAN TV series. Chef Jan-Hendrik said that it will definitely not be in Cape Town, but at the TV series launch he had said that it will be near Cape Town. We spoke about it privately at the end of the evening, and I am grateful for his trust in me in what he shared.<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; About his grandfather\u2019s blue jacket which Chef Jan-Hendrik wears in the TV series he said that he is an \u2018<i>old soul\u2019,<\/i> and when he wears the jacket he feels he is connected to his grandfather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p># &nbsp; Chef Jan-Hendrik concluded by likening himself to Rodrigues, the American singer who was rediscovered, about which a book has been written <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-96481\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/86FAD9F1-9E36-499E-97A7-AA0790E9E64C.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/86FAD9F1-9E36-499E-97A7-AA0790E9E64C.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/86FAD9F1-9E36-499E-97A7-AA0790E9E64C.jpeg?resize=113%2C150&amp;ssl=1 113w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chrisvonulmenstein.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/86FAD9F1-9E36-499E-97A7-AA0790E9E64C.jpeg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/>and a movie made.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The piece de resistance was the sago pudding dessert which was served, our place setting having a linen serviette, a crocheted placemat, and a silver fork and spoon.
