Woman's Hour - 25/05/2009

With Jane Garvey. A special edition from Marguerite Patten's Brighton home. Woman's Hour presents a celebration of Marguerite Patten: the doyenne of British cookery who has been teaching us how to cook since the 1930s. Her career began in the war years when she broadcast to the nation on the BBC, giving helpful tips on how make the most of limited rations. She has hosted countless TV and radio shows, been awarded the OBE for services to the 'art of cookery' and written 170 cookery books. Her latest, 'Best British Dishes', is her last. Jane Garvey visits her at her Brighton home to hear about her life and to try her hand at some of Marguerite's favourite recipes.
