The Afrikaans lifestyle cooking show JAN on VIA (DStv 147) is returning for a fourth season from Sunday 16 October at 20:30 and will be titled "JAN RSVP" as the South African Michelin-star chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen hosts guests in a small farmhouse while they cook together, talk about life, and share old recipes, traditions and dishes that they remember.
Produced by Carien Loubser's Brainwave Productions, season 4 of JAN as "JAN RSVP" will see Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen setting the table for guests in a renovated 1712 farmhouse in a lavender field.
For each of the guests, he prepares a dish inspired by their own stories as they come to share their food secrets and old family recipes. Guests during the season include Coenie de Villiers, Ina Paarman, chef Mokgadi Itsweng and Tannie Evita Bezuidenhout.
"We bonded the only way I know how – breaking bread together around beautifully set tables – talking about life, love and everything in between," says Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen about season 4.
Azelia Morkel, VIA channel head says "viewers will be swept away by every minute of this show" which was filmed in the Boland.
