Margot Janse in conversation with Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen

The Albright Club is honoured to host a conversation between two of South Africa’s most celebrated culinary voices, Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen and Margot Janse. Both chefs have not only shaped the global perception of South African cuisine but have also redefined what it means to cook with a sense of place, heritage, and purpose.

From the considered elegance of Jan Hendrik’s Michelin-starred vision to Margot’s deeply rooted, ingredient-driven philosophy, this dialogue brings together two distinct yet complementary approaches to food. Their journeys - spanning continents, cultures, and kitchens - offer a rich tapestry of experiences that speak to innovation, resilience, and storytelling through cuisine.

Join us as we witness them reflect on their craft, their inspirations, and the evolving identity of South African gastronomy on the world stage. This is not just a conversation about food, but about culture, connection, and the power of culinary magic to transcend borders.

This will be a Talk-Only event.
