When it comes to cooking, he's diving into Mediterranean flavors with a new cookbook, Medesque by Georgina Hayden, and dreams of dining at Manchester's newly opened Proloco or Cleo in Copenhagen.
A Peek into Mat’s Lifestyle

He’s also on the hunt for a new bed frame and stylish wardrobe additions, such as loafers from Another Aspect and breakfast bowls from Frama. Mat’s love for music plays a crucial role in his life, with playlists that help ease his anxiety, featuring artists from hazy chill vibes to jazz house.
