Penguin Random House and Le Bistrot de Jan invite you to a book signing of JAN Voyage by Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen.

In JAN Voyage, Jan Hendrik invites you to explore the world through taste – where every aroma, every sizzle, every shared meal becomes a passport to connection.

From the sunlit markets of Nice to the stillness of your own kitchen, this is a celebration of the flavours and feelings that make every journey unforgettable.

About the book

Renowned chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen regularly leads selected groups of guests on a JAN Voyage – culinary journeys to France and Italy.

This cookbook, JAN Voyage, takes readers and home cooks on memorable taste explorations, transporting them to places they’ve never been to – which lie off the map in secret locations and ancient medieval villages – and sometimes back to ones they hold dear.

The book is a compass, pointing towards the richness of encounters, both great and small, that define what it means to voyage. Each recipe unlocks the essence of a place that has captured Jan Hendrik’s heart and the people met on the journey.
