"Matt Preston has revealed that he has become more &amp;quot;comfortable&amp;quot; the older he has got. The food critic, who is best known as a judge on the Australian version of cooking reality show MasterChef alongside chefs Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris, recently celebrated his 50th birthday with a big party in Melbourne. &amp;quot;As you get older, I think you become more comfortable in who you are. Things don&amp;#039;t matter so much, all that stuff you agonise over when you are young. You dance with more abandon!&amp;quot; he told New Idea magazine Preston joked that turning 50 is a &amp;quot;trauma&amp;quot;, and said that he had a few requests for his birthday. &amp;quot;I would quite like a 40-hour day to spend more time with the family,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;X-ray vision would be good. A slightly more controlled love of pig fat.  &amp;quot;Apart from that, just normal stuff - to be a better husband and a better dad, a better person. I&amp;#039;m not someone who hankers after many material things. I&amp;#039;m quite content really. I&amp;#039;m very lucky.&amp;quot; Preston also revealed that his ongoing weight-loss regime is going well, saying: &amp;quot;I do feel very healthy. I can spend dramatically more time on the dance floor. Not a bad workout!&amp;quot; Fellow judge Mehigan has also been &amp;quot;working out with a personal trainer&amp;quot; since last year. Last week, Kate Bracks was crowned the winner of MasterChef 2011. Watch the moment she won below (Australian readers only):  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
