Today, June 11th 2015 is a great tribute day to Marguerite Patten. And here is mine.
In 1960 at school I was ‘too clever’ to take part in cooking lessons but I was given Cookery in Colour by Marguerite Patten.
In 2010 I went to her house in Brighton and she signed the battered copy and wrote ‘To Jenny with love – Glad you found this helpful’.
Indeed it was the start of something brilliant – over 40 years for me working with food.
More to come but now I have to go to work!
