Frankly Frankston loves My Kitchen Rules almost as much as Peninsula truffles, and what better way to celebrate both than to have a quick word with brother and sister Henry and Anna, two truffle-farming Tasmanians who are hitting the road on this trail-blazing show.

“Last season Damo and Caz gave us a quick visit to buy some truffles for their instant restaurant,” says Henry. “She got me into this.” The siblings agree that they’re not the most experienced cooks but are looking forward to giving it a go. Anna jokes: “If we can put out three courses and no one vomits, no one cries and I don’t chop a finger off or break anything, it’ll be a good night.”

For anyone who knows something about truffles, farming them is by no means simple. They start growing here in the ground in the first week of December and don’t ripen until the beginning of June. There’s the PH levels in the soil to consider, the right trees to plant and foster (it takes years before a tree will produce its first truffle) and then you’ve got to find them beneath the soil. That’s where a truffle dog comes in. You can see why they sometimes sell for thousands of dollars.

“We really want to showcase our love of truffles and how proud we are of what Mum and Dad have created,” says Anna. “We’re so lucky to have grown up on a truffle farm. It’s very special to us.” Henry adds: “To experience something like this with your sister and best mate is once in a lifetime.”
