Win a brand new camera and expert food photography tuition from a home economist


Matthew Walker is the World’s Oldest Christmas Pudding Maker, creating puddings in the heart of Derbyshire. In fact, Matthew Walker and Christmas have been best friends since 1899!

We think our puddings are the best you can buy – so much so, we’ve trademarked our ‘Recipe 13’ ‘The Perfect Christmas Pudding Recipe’! We also know how fantastically creative you UKFBA bloggers are, so, we thought we’d set a festive culinary challenge for you!
