It’s not a low sugar cake if it’s drenched in date syrup??

Also, and I hope I’m way off the mark with this, is multiple low sugar recipes another cancer treatment breadcrumb? There’s lots of studies looking into the as yet undetermined relationship between sugar and tumour growth, and someone I know with liver cancer went on a low sugar/carb diet to see if it would support their main treatment

So to confirm, in Jack's world, salt is salt is salt, but sugar isn't sugar isn't sugar

There's no way either of those cakes can be removed from that tin without a chisel, so I hope she's staying near a B&Q.

I am so very skeptical about the way all her baked goods are photographed still in the tin. Look at that leaden lump of a cake - she hasn't taken it out to cool, she's left it in there long enough to ice. Expect sogginess throughout!

You had a great point the other day about how everything she cooks is perfect and amazing. I have a friend who's a chef - as in, culinary school and ten years of experience - and she's always critiquing her own food. I think that's common for most people I know who make things, whether that's food, art, crafts, whatever. I don't know anyone who produces 100% perfection all the time...except, apparently, Jack.

Also, it says 'serve hot, warm, or fridge cold', while her Del Monte Upside Down Pineapple Chicken recipe says 'serve hot'?!

I think possibly everybody involved expects somebody else to have tried, edited, tested etc which is why this nonsense gets out into the world.
