About Matt Preston

Matt Preston is a distinguished food journalist, restaurant critic, and television personality, known for his significant contributions to the culinary world. He is a prominent figure in the Australian food scene, writing a national column for the Taste Section in NewsCorp’s metro newspapers, which reaches 4 million readers weekly.

Preston gained widespread recognition as a judge and co-host on "MasterChef Australia," a role he held from the show's inception until 2019. His expertise and charismatic presence contributed to the show's success, making it a ratings juggernaut. Beyond the main series, he also appeared in "Celebrity MasterChef," "Junior MasterChef," and "MasterChef Allstars." In 2013, he co-hosted "MasterChef: The Professionals" with Marco Pierre White, which was honoured as Australia’s Best Reality Show at the 2014 AACTA Awards. Additionally, he has been a guest judge on international versions of the show, including "MasterChef Italia" and "MasterChef NZ."

Matt Preston is also a successful author, having released several best-selling cookbooks that have been published in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. His engaging writing style and culinary expertise have earned him a loyal following among food enthusiasts.

Matt is also a keen tennis player but due to an extreme lack of talent he is extremely unlikely to ever win a wild card slot for the Australian Open.
