#157 Jane Low | Bahama Gold

If I had had to choose a chef to talk to, if not on International Women’s Day, but around that time Jane Low is it. Jane is a passionate chef. One of those chefs who always knew this is what she wanted to do. Jane incorporates her Chinese background and Malaysian upbringing, mixing that in to her experiences as a pastry chef and recent time in London and travels in Europe. Jane has distilled her style into delicious, fun food that reflects her life, her adventures and her thirst for knowledge. I spoke to Jane’s boss and friend, Almay Jordaan at Neighbourhood Wine a few years ago and I recently caught up with Almay which was such a pleasure. It is no surprise that she has someone like Jane working with her. You only need to step inside Neighbourhood Wine, Old Palm Liquor or Bahama Gold to understand that these people know hospitality and love it. At one point Jane mentioned that between the drink and food menu, her goal is for people to never want to leave. Job done I think.
