KIN is the glorious sounding restaurant housed in All Saints Estate’s 1864 heritage-listed castle in Rutherglen, and is an ode to family by siblings Eliza, Nick and Angela Brown. Kin offers modern destination dining with a menu inspired by family recipes and childhood memories, plus the best local and Estate produce and it is helmed by the very lovely chef Jack Cassidy. While Rutherglen is very firmly on my list of places to visit, the three-hour twenty-minute drive was a bit far at this point, so Jack and I chatted on the phone. Jack is one of those chefs who never dreamed of becoming a chef and now cannot imagine doing anything else. He has cooked in some incredible restaurants around the country, including Bistro Guillaume, Bedarra Island Resort, Jackalope, and is now Executive chef at KIN. The way he talks about food is wonderful and I can’t wait to try some of his dishes paired with a beautiful heritage wine from All Saints Estate. I bet you’ll feel the same, because Jack’s passion is palpable and he has an infectious laugh, and laughter is brightest where food is the best.
