His books include Rhubarb and Black Pudding, Eating up Italy: Voyages on a Vespa, along with its sequel Sweet Honey, Bitter Lemons.

Currently Matthew is a judge on the BBC’s Great British Menu and will be appearing at the Festival on stage in the cookery theatre and signing books in the interview tent. As a patron Matthew is keen to promote all the superb produce surrounding Malton and the town itself as one of Yorkshire’s top destinations for food lovers.
