Rodney Dunn & Séverine Demanet
Rodney Dunn and Séverine Demanet are the co-founders of Gourmet Traveller's 2024 Restaurant of the Year, The Agrarian Kitchen. After opening a cooking school and farm within their home in the Old Schoolhouse in Lachlan, south-east Tasmania, they and their team have gone on to grow The Agrarian Kitchen into its current offering: a restaurant, cooking school, kiosk, and one-acre kitchen garden, based out of New Norfolk’s old mental asylum, Willow Court.
In this chat with hosts Emma Azon-Jacometti and Amanda Vallis, Rod and Sev describe the dream that brought them from Sydney to Lutruwita/Tasmania, those early days of bringing it to life in their own family home, and why there's no place like Tassie for an experience like the one they've created at The Agrarian Kitchen.
