These boots were made for walking, says MasterChef judge Matt Preston MasterChef is gearing up for another series with judge Matt Preston promising a lot of mealy-mouthed stuff. Courtesy Channel Ten PERFECT FIT: Matt Preston tries on a pair of RM Williams boots at the company's Prospect flagship store. Preston, in town to spruik his latest cookbook Fast, Fresh and Unbelievably Delicious, is a self-confessed disciple of RM Williams boots, and made time for some retail therapy at the iconic company's Prospect shop. The snappily-dressing food guru, who owns more than 20 pairs of RM Williams boots, said he was "excited" about visiting the Percy St shop where the company began in 1932. "Last year I gave away the first pair of boots I bought when I first came to Australia on holiday in 1989," Preston said. They were still gorgeous. Yesterday he snapped up a shirt and pants. They're a quintessential Australian product, they last forever, and if you continue to shine them every so often, give them a bit of a rub, they get better and take on that crinkly leather smile. Preston doesn't need any more boots at the moment - he has custom-made pairs in all styles - but the workwear fan did snap up a shirt and pants. He proudly wears a green RM Williams shirt on the cover of his new book, Preston will return to Adelaide on October 28 as a special guest at The Advertiser Food Awards. "I'm really excited, I came four years ago and had a great night, and this is the first time in three years we're not filming so I'm looking forward to seeing who's going to win," he said. A lot's been happening in the food scene here in the past year, a lot of new places have bubbled up, and that'll make the awards really interesting. Fast, Fresh and Unbelievably Delicious (Plum, $39.99) is out now. PAGE 36: Sweet talking
