She cares about a nice warm lap, cuddles, and a good garden for hunting - but if that makes someone feel better, I'll say she's a saint!

Ottolenghi is a god!! JO’s Seven Ways is a really pragmatic book...for kids, I can recommend Nadiya’s Bake Me A Story, and Cool Kids Cook - great introduction to not only baking, but planning/cooking meals, subbing ingredients (and not in the ‘a vegetable is a vegetable’ shruggy shoulders wayOh lovely! Any particular standouts? The way it's shaken out I've been doing less cooking than ever if anything, but I live in perpetual hope of getting my shit togetherI have benefitted deliciously from Ottolenghi Flavour and the Dishoon cookbook (though not lifted a finger to actually use either myself)
bib I don’t think she has learnt yetThat's true. Also, there's a misconception that the longer you spend on a page, the higher Google will rank it. But most people will just nope out of there upon seeing a wall of text, so it can actually be bad for your numbers. As a PP said, there was a tool to remove all the gumpf and it pissed off a load of bloggers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56241653
I hate to say it, but what Jack fails to realise about Nigella's style, and why it's so hard to ape, is that Nigella is really fucking smart. She was privately educated, went to Oxford etc. She isn't just chucking in random 'clever person words'. You can't fake that kind of eccentric intelligence.
Jack is basically Joey from Friends when he learns to use the thesaurus.
totally agree, her recipes in the guardian are one of the highlights of my week!rachel roddy is the QUEENI love her so much. I must use at least 2 rachel roddy recipes a week.
I am ever the optimist!She cares about a nice warm lap, cuddles, and a good garden for hunting - but if that makes someone feel better, I'll say she's a saint!
What is the Scottish baking book called?I have bought more cookery books in a shorter time this past year than ever before, none of which have been by Jack but at least two from DKL guests. I have also discovered a Scottish Baking book which I didn't realise that I had so that's going to be the next experiment.
I've also had time to properly cook in the evening, being at home. Bet books by THAT MAN and Mom haven't had a downturn in sales.
Not a peep about her private landlord dad though.Her Tory think tank collab has been eternalised in the Guardian (via google alerts)
Like every Jack endeavour!!!The excitement over the Pot Noodle reminds me a bit of Ruby's thing about Creme Eggs, which is about celebrating normal grocery shop treats etc, except without the charm.
Which is disgusting tbh as these things should really be declared, her dad isn’t just a hobbyist or accidental landlord. He’s got so many assets it makes sense to run them through a limited company, so this is material information.Not a peep about her private landlord dad though.
Double bluffJanet didn’t receive the copy she asked for - she’s the only credible one!
My great grandmother had tattoos and she was born in 1878I remember someone I knew (RIP) showing off her tattoos around thirty years ago and she was in her seventies then. She'd gone along to hold her granddaughter's hand and ended up with a line of Pictish animals from standing stones exquisitely inked down her thigh in black linework.
Remember fan clubs? All I’m saying is that if Nicola Miller had one, I’d sign upNot sure if this was posted today but I love this from a frau-favourite trifle defender View attachment 495113
Jack's so annoying with her tattoo talk. I love those 19th century tattooed women, btw! So elegant.My great grandmother had tattoos and she was born in 1878
Thanks for the kids recommendations - miss v wants to help but is still a bit young for knivesOttolenghi is a god!! JO’s Seven Ways is a really pragmatic book...for kids, I can recommend Nadiya’s Bake Me A Story, and Cool Kids Cook - great introduction to not only baking, but planning/cooking meals, subbing ingredients (and not in the ‘a vegetable is a vegetable’ shruggy shoulders way) and using knives etc safely. Nikki Lilly’s book is really good, but it’s also semi autobiographical, and gives older kids loads of tips and life advice. We bought it for middle child, who is early teens, and it went down a storm.
