Description: The French Affair: Tables of Love

Writing the cookbook The French Affair: Tables of Love is dedicated to Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen's love for food, beautiful tables, pictures and, most of all, memories was on a par with the excitement of whisking together his first mayonnaise at school and feeling the incredible satisfaction of something coming together with every dedicated effort put into it. So many things we make on a daily basis have a French connection. Little did he know that these techniques, methods and ingredients would one day take him on a journey far away to where they all originated. Jan Hendrik worked as a private chef on the French Riviera, and is currently living and working as an restaurant owner in the South of France.
