Our UK Golden Tomato Cook 2021 has been crowned!

Hannah not only picked up the coveted title of Golden Tomato Cook, but she’s also won the incredible prize of a trip to the food valley in Parma, Italy, the home of Mutti.

Hannah’s winning three-course tomato-based menu included:

Starter: Aubergine Parmigiana Rolls with Basil Oil – hero’ing Mutti Polpa
Main: ‘Nduja and Marscapone Spaghetti – hero’ing Mutti Passata
Dessert: Fig, Pistachio and Tomato Tartlets – hero’ing Mutti Double Concentrated Puree

Our Mutti head chef, Carlo Casoni said: “As we expected the standard in the final was extremely high. Each of our contestants should be extremely proud with how they performed throughout the day, they really did put their heart and soul into it. All the dishes were very accomplished and delivered high quality and great taste. But there can only be one winner and we unanimously agreed that Hannah’s menu was the standout success. She achieved consistently high marks across each of the judging criteria and she really showcased how the Mutti tomatoes fitted perfectly in every dish. She richly deserves being crowned our champion 2021.”

Congratulations to Hannah as well as our second place finalist Joyce Lee and third place George Percival.
