About Matt Pelton:
Matt Pelton grew up in central Utah, where he learned the art of Dutch oven cooking. He brought his passion with him on a two-year mission to Boston for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; he packed his 10-inch Dutch oven in his suitcase. On every opportunity, he learned to cook food from the many cultures in the Boston area. When he returned home, he met and married his wife of fourteen years, Katie. They have three wonderful children: Megan, age twelve; Tristan, age ten; and Braxton, age five. Matt has published multiple books, including From Mountaintop to Tabletop, The Cast Iron Chef, The Cast Iron Gourmet, and Up in Smoke. Matt was bitten by the bug of competitive cooking and has competed in the Kansas City Barbecue Society’s pro-division barbecue competitions. He also competes in the International Dutch Oven Society’s advanced cooking circuit, where he and his cooking partner Doug Martin won the 2012 IDOS World Championship. Matt travels around the West competing and teaching Dutch oven classes.
