Winter warmers : recipes & stories from a New Zealand high country station / Philippa Cameron of 'Whats for Smoko' ; photography by Lottie Hedley.

The bestselling author of A High Country Life shares more stories of living in the isolated mountains of New Zealand, plus 70 hearty recipes. Philippa's much-loved book A High Country Life sprang from her popular Instagram page, 'What's for Smoko'. Full of great stories of living through the seasons on a high country station, it contained stunning images of the beautiful landscape in which Philippa and her family live and farm. Her second book Winter Warmers includes more fascinating tales from past staff and family who have life-long connections to the land and life on the station. It has even more recipes, with approximately 70 hearty fill-'em-up meals and baking ideas. There's a strong focus on Philippa's favourite kitchen appliance, the magic pot (multicooker), plus methods for stovetop, oven and conventional slow cookers too. It also has lots of no-waste ideas and tips on how to use leftovers to create exciting and inspiring new meals. Complete with incredible photography of life in the high country, this is both a practical guide and a beautiful, aspirational book to browse.
