Talk:Marguerite Patten

Dame Marguerite Patten
Marguerite Patten was made a Dame. A book of hers I have, "Cooking for Victory", shows her as Dame Marguerite Patten, DBE. (Danny Newman 11:16, 12 December 2011 (UTC))
 * She was made a CBE last year. See here. When was she made a dame?


 * I can find no reference on the web to the book "Cooking for Victory", that you refer to. William Avery (talk) 12:49, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
 * The place to look is the London Gazette, which shows Patten on this page of 12 June 2010, and the heading C.B.E. on the previous page. It's very rare for a CBE to be raised to a DBE just 18 months after the award of the CBE. Her previous award, an OBE, was gazetted on 14 June 1991 (see here and here), an interval of 19 years. -- Red rose64 (talk) 16:10, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Publication year of "Cookery in Colour"
My copy of Patten's book, Cookery in Colour, says it was first published in 1960, not 1961 as this article currently claims. Can someone check this?

 * Patten's Guardian obituary gives 1960 as the year, too. William Avery (talk) 08:24, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
