Celebrity chef and champion of local/ Lincolnshire produce, Rachel Green is continuing her campaign to promote locally sourced produce by endorsing Mr Huda's Surma Secrets range of herb and spice mixes.

Rachel, who regularly appears on television and delivers cooking demonstrations across the UK will act as a brand ambassador for the Mr Huda's Surma Secrets range.

Developed after years of use in the Surma Restaurant, Mr Huda's Surma Secrets range help people recreate Indian restaurant cuisine in their own homes.

Rachel comments: "I've been a big fan of the Mr Huda's range for some time now and often use it at home. Mr Huda's is the perfect accompaniment to any good quality produce. I can't wait to start spreading the word."

Rachel will be utilising the versatile and delicious curry pastes in her forthcoming summer road shows and will be developing a range of new and exciting recipes that will be available on Mr Huda's website shortly.

Mafazul Huda, Managing Director of Mr Huda's Surma Secrets says: "We're really glad that Rachel has come on board. She's always told us how much she loves the product and we can't wait to try the recipes she comes up with. Mr Huda's prides itself on the fact that we don't use heat treatment on our products so the herbs and spices in our curry pastes are really fresh and tasty, making Mr Huda's perfect for the kind of farm fresh produce that Rachel uses."

The Mr Huda's Surma Secrets range is currently stocked by Asda and selected independent retailers throughout Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, and is now available in all Lincolnshire Co-Ops.
