As part of the latest IKEA collaboration and exclusively for IKEA FAMILY members, Matt will share with guests his secrets on how to create six simple every day dishes using Swedish Food Market ingredients.

From cooking and baking for a family feast to outdoor entertaining, Matt’s simple tips and tricks will show IKEA lovers how to make the most out of their home and kitchen.

The workshops will take guests on a culinary journey of flavours around the globe featuring bespoke recipes created exclusively for IKEA. Matt will use Swedish Market ingredients with easily sourced produce to create a fusion of Swedish flavours, with hints of Mexican, Italian and Vietnamese.

Using one of IKEA’s most popular and staple ingredients, Matt has already created two new recipes – the meatball taco and cinnamon bun ice cream sandwich.
