JAN The Journal — Volume 16 / Bread and Butter

JAN The Journal — Volume 16 / Bread and Butter

Volume 16 of JAN The Journal takes Bread and Butter as its theme — the alchemy that turns simple ingredients into nourishment, memory and meaning. The issue moves through the histories and forms of butter, the misunderstood story of bread, South Africa's unsung master loaves, and the ways creativity rises when given a moment of warmth. As ever with the title, the essays sit alongside photography that earns the slow read.

Created by the South African chef and artist Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, JAN The Journal blends culinary writing with travel narrative and reflections on simplicity. A quietly distinctive title on the food-and-culture shelf. UK cover price £19.
