Thank
you so much to the competition entrants, the judges and to the local
enterprises who donated prizes for each class in the 'Top Tooting Cook'
competition.
We had fabulous entries made with love and delicious fresh local ingredients...all adding up to good tasting and decision-making challenges for our panel of judges. The panel judged several classes as well as the overall 'Top Tooting Cook'.
Thanks loads to Bryony Williams for her beautiful photographs in this post.
Overall 'Top Tooting Cook' Winner:
Norah Jane Brasington - not only for
taste and look of all her entries to three categories, but also for her
exceptional use of locally sourced fruit and veg, eggs and honey.
Her choices symbolised the fundamental reasons of this festival which are encouraging the
community to consider sustainable living by Growing Local and reducing the
air miles our food travels - thereby reducing carbon emissions.
A fabulous example of a community action
response to addressing climate change!
Winner in the Savoury Class:
Farhana Wahab who made delicious Spinach and
potato burgers from locally grown vegetables. The judges commented that
'they are amazing and have great texture'. 
Winner in the Dessert Class:
Rachel Crosby who made a blackberry and mint cake
using locally grown fruit and mint. The judges were impressed especially
by her beautiful presentation.
Winner in the Apples and Pears Class:
Nora Jane Brasington for her “beautifully
moist" gluten-free apple and honey cake from locally sourced apples,
eggs and honey!
Winner in the Jams and Pickles Class:
Debbie Morey of Good Sorts won with
her “delicious" Damson Jam with fruit sourced from a local
allotment.
Special Commendation to ‘Baked Bean Boy’ for his hot kale and tomato salsa with “great heat”, all ingredients sourced from donations
to Foodival 2018.
