Celebrity cook and former Food in a Minute host Allyson Gofton will be back in Hawke's Bay later this month making a guest appearance at the annual Waihua Christmas Fete, in the grounds of the historic Waihua Homestead.
The fete will be held on November 26, with Gofton hosting demonstrations throughout the day in the homestead kitchen. Bookings will be available for four different time slots during the programme, which starts at 10am and ends at 3pm.
Gofton has been cooking for New Zealanders for nearly 30 years and was the popular face of television's Food in a Minute.
She has gone on to write several cookbooks and travels regularly throughout the country hosting charity demonstrations and public speaking engagements, as well as living in France, from where she has derived some of her inspiration.
Fete organiser Rose Haynes said organisers were thrilled to be hosting a cook of Gofton's calibre at the 2017 event.
