Philippa Cameron

Philippa Cameron is the station cook on her husband’s family farm in the Waitaki Valley, called Ōtemātātā Station. She's also the mother to two beautiful daughters who will be the sixth generation to treasure the sparse and beautiful high country environment.

In her first book, A High Country Life, she captured a glimpse into what each season involves on a large 40,000 hectare property along with simple recipes that she uses regularly to fuel our staff. Last April she released a second book titled Winter Warmers, which has many more recipes, alongside tales from past employees who have worked alongside three generations of Camerons.
