Marguerite started the Stowe at War event with a hour long talk on the wartime kitchen.
After Marguerite's talk she stayed to ask answer the visitors questions, sign books and she even bought some wartime cooking for everyone to taste.
Since the Stowe at War event, we have also been fortunate to have worked with Marguerite Patten OBE again when we both appeared on ITV's This Morning.
Marguerite is one of the nations heroes of the British home front during World War 2.
Marguerite Patten OBE is the original `Celebrity Chef`, with a career that spans more than 60 years.
She began her career before the war when only a quarter of British households owned a fridge, guided us through rationing and became the BBC's choice as the country's first television cook.
Cookery writer, demonstrator and home economist, Marguerite Patten's tally of cookery books is rapidly approaching 170 with world-wide sales of more than 17 million.
