Mathew Garzaniti is an Italian-Australian food creator and the talent behind STAYFORLUNCH, a growing platform known for its inviting, recipe-led content and strong sense of identity.
Mathew's creative voice is rooted in the traditions of his upbringing, where food sat at the heart of family gatherings. Raised in an Italian-Australian household, he learned early from his nonno and nonna — rolling fresh pasta by hand — experiences that shaped the authenticity that now defines his work.
Mathew regularly works with Woolworths and has partnered with brands including Bippi Foods, Simply Nuts Australia, Bhoney Australia, Bega Cheese, Puopolo, Ooni, Old El Paso, GreenPan, Cozze and Toscano.
At the centre of Mathew's work is a genuine love of sharing food that feels meaningful — recipes that honour where he comes from while remaining fresh, relevant and easy to welcome into everyday life.
