There are prizes to be won, lots of local coverage, and hundreds of people are expected to attend!

3. A savoury dish
4. A pudding / desert/ cake dish
5. Pickle / jam / preserve/ jelly/ chutney

Top Tooting Cook is part of the award-winning Tooting Foodival organised by Transition Town Tooting – and 2017 sees it celebrating its 10th year. The event highlights the diversity of produce that can be grown, cooked and enjoyed in Tooting.
