I spoke to Natasha for a while and she is keen to promote local food:

Thanks Sarah for the welcome.

 

I work on an itv1 programme named Countrywise Kitchen - google us! - and just started work on the next series. Basically its a show about championing local food in different areas of the UK - and looking into doing one of the shows about food from the New Forest. Looking for great producers (and talkers!) in great areas with great produce - either raw or taken and put into something else (preserves and the like for example)

 

Any great producers you'd may know of do please drop me a line.

 

All the bst

Ian
