Whangarei's finest fritter will be chosen by one of New Zealand's top food writers.
Cookbook author and MasterChef New Zealand winner Chelsea Winter was this week announced as the celebrity judge at the Whangarei Fritter Festival.
At the March 28 event Mrs Winter will taste the fritter creations from cafes and restaurants from across Northland, and award the Best Fritter Trophy 2015 - all the while listening to the dulcet tones of the festival's musical offerings, including headlining act, Kiwi music legend Dave Dobbyn.
"Fritters are an integral part of my summers. My mussel fritters from [her book] Everyday Delicious have been a regular on the family menu at the beach this year," she said.
"I also love Whangarei, so it's safe to say I'm pretty excited about being a part of the festival where I'll taste some tantalising frittery treats. It's going to be an amazing day of delicious food, great music and awesome people."
