Our Ambassadors

Matt Moran

With over 30 stellar years in the food industry behind him, a plethora of awards, a handful of best-selling cookbooks, and as the mastermind behind some of Australia's most celebrated dining establishments; it's safe to say Matt Moran is a culinary icon.

At the heart of all Matt's endeavours lies a passion for fresh, seasonal produce. He is a fourth-generation farmer and still owns a farm in the Central Tablelands of NSW. He has a love of the land and is dedicated to supporting local and regional producers and growers.

Matt's food career started at the age of 15 as an apprentice at La Belle Helene Restaurant in Roseville, where he discovered the art of classical French cooking. He opened his first restaurant at the age of 22 before expanding his portfolio of venues with the opening of Aria, Opera Bar, Chiswick, North Bondi Fish, Chophouse, Barangaroo House, and more recently The Rockley Pub situated near his farm.

Matt has also hosted prime time shows including Masterchef, The Chopping Block, My Restaurant Rules and The Great Australian Bake Off.

Courtney Roulston

Courtney Roulston first rose to fame after finishing as a finalist in Series 2 of MasterChef Australia in 2010.

For over 11 seasons, Courtney worked as the Head Chef for the Sydney Swans AFL Team, cooking for the players and working closely with the team dietician to create wholesome meals for more than 80 players and support staff.

For over a decade, Courtney has proudly represented Coles Supermarkets and the Second Bite Charity organisation as an ambassador, which involves hosting various events, making media appearances and managing catering jobs all over Australia.

Having participated in Season 12 of MasterChef Australia: All Stars Back to Win in 2020, Courtney now hosts the very popular cooking series Farm to Fork which airs on Network Ten and is currently in its fourth season. The show takes Courtney all over the country to meet Aussie farming families and learn all about the produce they grow.

Courtney’s first job was in a bowling club, and she later went on to manage a club for over 11 years. She was also one of the judges for the club industry's previous culinary competition, Chef's Table, for several years.
