Buitenverwachting Restaurant on Thursday 8 June

Lunch at 12 noon for 12h30

All at Buitenverwachting are enormously excited to be hosting Tony Jackman, journalist and South African playwright, who will be talking about his newly launched book foodSTUFF.

The Book

The cookbook as a memoir or is it the memoir as a cookbook? foodSTUFF is Tony Jackman’s refreshingly original view on life and the food that goes with it. The long-time journalist, playwright and food writer takes you from his beginnings as the son of a working-class family from the north of England to his astonishing success as a truant in his high school days and on to his career as a journalist, husband, father and maverick. Jackman relates every heartache and every joy. foodSTUFF has many meaty recipes, spicy poultry dishes, some of Jackman’s eccentric signature dishes and desserts to spoil his friends with.

The Author

I have been a Tony Jackman fan for so many years that I have lost count…

Way back when he was Editor of the Top of the Times and you had to hurry to get the Cape Times on a Friday because it would be sold out… Tony’s column was a must-read for Capetonians, witty and always up to the minute.

More recently he wrote for the Weekend Argus and was assistant editor of Daily Maverick.  As a playwright, he tackles weightier matters such as atrocities committed during the Boer War, the feud between Olive Schreiner and Cecil John Rhodes and the disparity between rich and poor. 

He has written three stage plays; An Audience with Miss Hobhouse (which won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in 2013) Bloody England and Blue Train Calling.

His Restaurants in Sutherland and Cradock attracted foodies from all over. He has so much talent and is such a special human being that I can’t wait to read his book.

Chef/Patron Edgar Osojnik is also a fan of Jackman and a delicious meal is on the cards to be accompanied by the elegant wines of Buitenverwachting.  The fully inclusive price per person is R375.
