A Publishing First!Rachel Green Teams Up with Chatsworth to Publish the First Ever Chatsworth Cookery Book - A Fabulous Celebration of Estate Produce  Passionate campaigner for local produce and TV chef Rachel Green is set to publish her first cookery book, Rachel Green's Chatsworth Cookery Book, in September. "This is one of the most exciting projects I've been involved with," says Rachel. "Chatsworth is a unique place, and source of amazing produce. Not many people realise it generates 2 million litres of milk a year alone!" Rachel's links with Chatsworth go back to 2001, when she was first invited by the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire to demonstrate at the farm shop, and she is now a fixture there with her lively classes. From the start Rachel was inspired by the bounty of wonderful produce available at Chatsworth farm shop and from the estate, and her book is a celebration of this, with a delightful collection of 80 seasonal recipes. Dishes include Asparagus with Warm Potato Pancakes, Bacon and Hollandaise, Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb with Pea, Mint and Shallot Sauce, Rabbit with Pears, Prunes and Bay Leaves and Cinnamon Pavlovas with Apples and Brambles. Rachel, a farmer's daughter from Lincolnshire whose family have farmed in the county for 14 generations, has always been immersed in food production. Early formative memories of helping to lamb the ewes, lift potatoes and strip peas from the vine mean she has a huge respect for producers. This has led to her becoming official Champion for Tastes of Lincolnshire, and Face of the East Midlands for Visit Britain. A burgeoning television career most recently included BBC3's Kill It, Cook It, Eat It, a serious look at Britain's meat industry. Chatsworth's 35,000 acres form one of the biggest food-producing estates in the country. The Chatsworth farm shop was established 30 years ago by the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, selling meat from the Chatsworth estate. Now employing over 50 full-time and 70 part-time staff, it is widely regarded as the pioneering centre of the finest British produce. Rachel Green is available for interview.
