Marguerite Patten
Marguerite Patten’s contribution to the nation’s eating habits is quite phenomenal. She was the original celebrity chef – bringing her knowledge of food and nutrition to post war TV screens in 1947.
Her determination to educate about how to eat and what to eat has led her to sell over 17 million books and she has even demonstrated her talents at the London Palladium. She has been awarded the OBE for services to the art of cookery.
Marguerite picked Handel's Largo, an arrangement for trumpet and organ along with Bryn Terfel and Andrea Bocelli singing The Pearl Fishers' Duet by Bizet.
Please advise your guest, whose name escapes me, that trafficking is not the same as chattel slavery. Slave masters could do what they wished with their slaves. This was made legal as a result of The British (Barbados) Chattel Slave Code 1661. Slaves had no right to life and could be burned alive if the master so wished !

Dear Saturday Live,
Complain about this postPlease would you tell me what that lovely relaxing piece by Handel was (played in the Margueritte Patten report)?
I think the songbook Marguerite referrred to was the Scottish Students Songbook which my family used for singsongs.
