VOTING NOW CLOSED FOR OUR GOLDEN TOMATO COOK COMPETITION 2022

Follow @MuttipomodoroUK on October 27th, 2022 to see the final cook off!

After the success of the competition last year, we are back and looking for our UK Golden Tomato Cook 2022. To enter, we asked consumers to create a 3-course menu (starter, main and dessert), using 3 different Mutti products from the essentials range in each course, making the Mutti product the hero of each recipe.

We have whittled all entries down to the best 5 and now after hundreds of votes from the public, our 3 finalists with the highest votes have been chosen.

Our 3 finalists are….

Paul James
Kate Phillips
Mikayla Rowe

The finalists will now cook-off in the live final at Sauce by The Langham, London on October 27th. Their menus will be judged by our panel of expert judges – Ben Tish, Gabriella Margiotta, Nigel Barden and Carlo Casoni – based on the criteria:

Making the Mutti Essentials product the hero of the dish
Originality
Presentation (hero’ing the tomatoes)
Overall menu appeal
Taste

The menu with the highest score will then be crowned our Mutti Golden Tomato Cook 2022 winner and will win a once in a lifetime trip to Parma, Italy – the home of Mutti, in the Italian Food Valley.
