What’s better that one beloved Joburg food personality hosting a festive cooking workshop? The answer is two dynamic Jozi bon vivants!
Well-known cookbook author, culinary writer and food personality Hillary Biller (of The Sunday Times and formerly The Star’s Angela Day) will be joining Jan Kohler in a not-to-be-missed Christmas food feast, Jingle Bell Bites, where they will be sharing some of their favourite recipes.
Says Biller: “Jan and I will be sharing new Christmas food ideas which are perfect for a South African summer. Our menu is complete with cocktails, starters, main dishes and delectable desserts.”
Jan Kohler is a self-taught cook, food blogger and the author of Pink Gin and Fairy Cakes and Celebrations who loves entertaining and sharing her top tips with others: “We will be showing lots of make-ahead options too so home cooks won’t be frantic on the day.”
Jingle Bell Bites takes place on Saturday, November 8, from 10h00 to 13h30 at Kohler’s home at 14 Christopherson Road, Dunkeld. The cost is R800 a person and can be booked on Jan’s IG account @jan_kohler_cooks or email hillary.biller@outlook.com. There will be a number of cookbooks to be won on the day.
The menu comprises:
- Spiced pear Bellini on arrival.
- Homemade gingerbread biscuits with whipped blue cheese parfait (and other cheeses) for snacking on.
- Decadent egg mousse with devilled prawns served with homemade Melba toast.
- Festive ham with Rex Union marmalade glaze.
- Moroccan-style spatchcock turkey with saffron onions, cinnamon and nuts.
- Spinach phyllo wreath.
- Smashed potatoes with rosemary.
- Grilled pineapple and red pepper salad.

Jan’s best-selling cookbooks will be on sale on the day at a special price of R199, a perfect stocking filler.
