Mat's started out in engineering, beginning with an apprenticeship at the Naval Dockyards in Auckland, NZ. Now living in the UK he has built a very successful career in IT and outside of his career, Mat loves to travel widely, including a period living in Thailand teaching people to scuba dive. This wide exposure to different cultures and food is reflected in his cooking influences.
Cooking at a high level came late to Mat. After moving to West Dorset with his family in 2002, Mat discovered that British waters offer great scuba diving opportunities, and with that came lots of fresh seafood. A day's cooking course at Rick Stein's Seafood School was the start of a journey that has culminated in becoming MasterChef champion of 2009. |
