Chef and TV presenter Matt Tebbutt will be cooking live in this year’s Cookery Theatre at the 100th anniversary Southport Flower Show sponsored by 79th Group on Thursday 15th August 2024.
Matt presents the ever-popular BBC1 food and chat show, ‘Saturday Kitchen’. He is also the presenter of its favourite moments partner – ‘Best Bites’ on BBC2 every Sunday.
Matt also co-hosts ‘Food Unwrapped’ on Channel 4. Matt, along with Jimmy Doherty and Andi Oliver, fronts this food and science series that lifts the lid on what’s really in the food we eat.
Matt made good use of his Geography & Anthropology degree making a food and travel show for the Discovery Channel. ‘Kings of the Wild’ tested his foraging and culinary skills in amazing jungle locations around the world.
Matt co-presented Market Kitchen on UKTV for five years with Rachel Allen, Tom Parker-Bowles and Matthew Fort.
Matt is a passionate exponent of Modern British cooking, using only the freshest, seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients. As well as Marco Pierre-White, he trained under such greats as Alastair Little, Bruce Poole and Sally Clarke. For fourteen years, Matt and his wife Lisa ran The Foxhunter restaurant in Monmouthshire (Restaurant of the Year for Wales 2004) where the daily-changing menu featured an exciting range of wild and foraged foods. His most recent project is a small cookery school and filming kitchen in Wales.
He has written four cookbooks, ‘Matt Tebbutt Cooks Country’, ‘Guilty Pleasures’ and his current offering ‘Weekend’. ‘Matt Tebbutt’s Pub Food’ will be available from August.
