A Year at Awakino Station
A collection of family friendly recipes and a slice of history from one of New Zealand's most spectacular working farms.
Set amongst the spectacular landscape of North Otago, A Year At Awakino encourages us to slow down, live alongside nature and embrace the seasons. As the station cook on Awakino and the mother of three young daughters, Jaz Mathisen knows how sharing a warm meal at the kitchen table or opening a tin of delicious treats makes all the difference to our busy days, whether you're feeding a busy family or a hungry team of shepherds.
Deeply passionate about running a sustainable farming business, the 20,000 acre Awakino station is home to fine wool sheep, cattle and deer. Jaz and her partner Dan Devine, a second generation Awakino farmer, share their belief that while they are the current managers of the historic Kurow homestead, they're only the custodians for the next generation.
From buttering the perfect cheese scone, serving a rustic fruit tart bursting with summer produce, or stocking up your pantry with homemade preserves for the frosty winter months, Jaz welcomes you onto Awakino, set in the heart of the Waitaki Valley, and shares more than 30 of her favourite recipes from her home to yours.
A Year At Awakino invites you to pull up a chair to the kitchen table as Jaz cooks her way through the seasons on one of New Zealand's most spectacular working farms.
