This is a unique opportunity to hear Cameron talk first hand about his Masterchef journey, his passion for the wild, and his new cookbook.

Cameron became a household name in 2011 when competing in the television series, NZ Masterchef. He has gone on to be appointed Head Chef at Putaruru restaurant, Masters Table, and will release his first cookbook in August.

After gaining a cult following on the show for his down-to-earth personality and simple cuisine, Petley has been honing his skills cooking at fundraisers for his children's kindergarten and at Tokoroa Italian restaurant Al Burico's, learning more about the intricacies of sauces, pastas and even how to cook the perfect medium-rare steak.

Cameron is our 'Father's Day' special guest, and we're sure that many will enjoy learning more about his passion for the great outdoors, and how to turn wild game into fine cuisine.
