BIO

Matt’s chef experience spans more than 20 years across Europe, China, New Zealand and most recently, Melbourne, Australia. Matt uses his experience as an executive sous chef to run multiple restaurants, as well as providing consulting, coaching and simply cooking for friends and family.

Like many others, his inspiration and passion for cooking is grounded in family roots, spending countless hours alongside Mum and Nan in the kitchen as a child. In these early years, he honed his craft whilst preparing traditional family feasts and baking classic English treats. After completing culinary school, Matt moved to Harrogate to further pursue his dream of becoming a chef. Several years later and following a soul seeking conversation with Nan, Matt embarked on global travel to further explore culinary art.

Working in Australia allows Matt the opportunity to access his favourite culinary culture, Tokyo Japan, for a history steeped in tradition, culture and food. When he’s not in the kitchen, you can find Matt cycling at the beach, or shopping in Melbourne’s local markets for the best farm to table produce.
