A rock’n’roll memoir of life, death and growing up with the occasional scandal. For a man who has been in the public eye for a decade or more, Matt Preston has been very quiet about his past and private life. Now, in Big Mouth, he opens up for the first time in a story that, like Matt himself, is joyous, funny and larger than life. From his adoption, fractured childhood and shocking family tragedies, to his disastrous spell in the British Army, to a misspent youth and burgeoning journalistic career in 1980s London, to relocating to the other side of the world and finding love – Matt writes frankly about it all. He relives the unexpected twists of fate that saw him become a household name on one of the most successful Australian TV shows of all time. Looking back at his eleven years of MasterChef Australia, Matt dishes up as only he could memorable moments and the ones he’d rather forget. Naturally, food weaves its way through his story at every turn, from the exquisite to the dreadful, forming the backdrop to this gloriously eccentric memoir from one of the food world’s most beloved bons vivants.
