Mess not only got lots of people excited about making a mess, but got us into some magazines. Edward, my turtle (no longer living - shame), usually very camera shy, has been popping up all over the mags this month. Now the most famous turtle in Joburg, I thought for the new Quilter and Workman range I’d go in search of some friends for him to play with. I missioned out to the West (also shame) and found a spot that specializes in taxidermy birds. Strange and beautiful…

I’m really excited about my new food / kitchen experiment: Quilter and the Workman.
For reservations: jonathan@greenoil.co.za
We’ve been inspired by Neville Trickett’s Saint Verde concept: He and his wife open their farm once a month for sales and food. Q&W will be opening May 6th for the first weekend in our new premises - a 17th floor loft in Bree St CBD. I’m expecting a new kind of food concept - no more messy, slurred food but rather a focus on structured compositions drawing on Scandinavian, British and Dutch food. The concept is STILLLIFE: honest, balanced and lyrical; inspired old masters, Flemish still life paintings and thinking about a life that is, well, still.
Our loft will be open on the 1st weekend of the month: Friday DINNER § Saturday HIGH TEA / DINNER § Sunday LUNCH.
We may consider ad hoc dinners.
I’m particularly excited about HIGH TEA (like literally high tea) : amazing pastries and Gin and Tonic with a view of the city as the sun starts setting.
The Kitchenware range for STILLIFE will be for sale during openhouse weekends and by appointment.
Bookings are open for Saturday 7 May HIGH TEA / DINNER & Sunday 8 May LUNCH. (Friday is already booked out).
