Hilda Marguerite Patten was a home economist, food writer, and broadcaster. Emerging from the Ministry of Food after World War II, she became a prominent voice for post-war austerity cookery, with many of her books selling in huge quantities and published in color. As one of the earliest television chefs to host her own program, Patten's work focused on practical and accessible home cooking, making her a significant figure in domestic economics and culinary writing. Her approach resonated widely, establishing her as a key communicator of kitchen wisdom for a generation.
