Masterclass with Jan

Friday, May 27, 2022

On 27 May South Africa’s first Michelin Star chef Jan Hendrick van der Westhuizen held a MasterClass at Emperors Palace. The invite-only event saw the super-star chef prepare a four-course meal while sharing tips of the trade as well as anecdotes from his career. More than a hundred guests were in attendance and then got to enjoy the meal designed by Jan, as well as interact and pose for photos.
Such an event is a bucket-list item for many and this once in a lifetime experience which consisted of a menu of:

Ostrich Carpaccio with Balsamic Toffee Tomatoes
Amagwinya Grass Sticks with Roasted Banana and Biltong Butter
Onions stuffed with Slow Roast Leg of Lamb | Baked Cauliflowers with Brown Rice Salad
Chocolate Soufflés with Passion Fruit

All meals were complimented with wines from the Jan Brand.

The conference centre service was lacklustre and the facilities are somewhat dated. The conference centre is close to the airport, but a nightmare to get to from anywhere else because of traffic.

Not so much the whole of Emperors Palace, more our hotel within it as there are many. It is rated 5 star but, sheets were dirty and service took forever.
