I can't wait to see the chocolate log thing. Pics or it isn't true Jack
Blimey, has that turd got 2 black eyes?!
I've just been flicking through my local weekly paper which I picked up at Tesco today. Candice Brown from Bake Off has a new book out and was being interviewed in the food section. She talked about the problems she had over lockdown with the pub she co-owns with her brother, her recent ADHD diagnosis and her current problems with her mental health.
'That book is Happy Cooking, in which Brown writes candidly about her struggles and how she retreats to the kitchen in times of need ("I cook and I bake when I'm happy, sad, stressed, angry..."), and reveals the recipes which help her cope, whether it's a comforting, gooey cheese and sausage toasties, a nourishing chicken tray bake, nostalgia-inducing angel cake, or Swedish cinnamon buns made for sharing.'
From the interview, it seems like it has been a difficult time for her and she does comes close to tears in it, but it also sounds SO much better than twit's book on the same premise, and no mention of god-awful depressipies. Wonder which one will sell better, eh?

Its from a rough bowl!
When you think about it, isn’t it incredible that a woman who thinks gently rinsed baked beans are a reasonable ingredient has released 4 cookbooks?
In many ways it proves anything is possible. (Yes I am mildly pissed. Now duck off x)

She has six cookbooks. Unbelievable, isn't it?
Fully grown adults get paid £££for dicking about om you tube with childrens toys. Yep anything is possible.
Has she ever specified that the beans were gently rinsed? If they're anything like her Patrons they're being rinsed to the brink of hummus.
Loves, we no longer need to wait for the crackling recipe. Gaz Oakley is everything she wishes she were.
Alright, now Instagram is trolling me. Vegan paella! In her niche.

Nigella's Rocky Road recipe is a triumph also.
I used to live on a small estate where we used to have little street parties in the summer, to which I would take mini pizzas and the Rocky Road.
When I moved the neighbours kids first concern was 'Who is going to make the Rocky Road now?!'
No doubt Jack will claim to have been working behind the scenes to produce that vegan crackling.
bleeping White Lightning christ. Only drink that's rendered me incapable of walking the day after
All of them
duck me sideways. I need another drink.
Don't worry about alcohol in that (or any other) recipe- it is not gonna happen anyway.
I watched the first part of the video and more bollocks.
1 The 5 star diners declared her tinned meal the best ever. Are you truly trying to tell us they can't tell the difference between tinned stewing steak cooked in coke and prime fillet of beef. I'm someone who has had my own poverty™ and still eat on a reasonably tight budget a lot of the time but on the couple of occasions I have had properly posh meals you can really tell the difference.
(ironically one of the best meals I ever ate was at a French restaurant called l'escargot blanc around the corner from the tent Jack was speaking in after I had seen Lionel Shriver at the book festival. She is a true literary genius who didn't feel the need to talk about how she was the star. The meal was also only £15 or so for the lunch menu but I have honestly never tasted mashed potatoes like that before. It was also served with beautiful baby veg, a world away from Smart Price frozen.).
2 The posho chased her along the corridor because he was so annoyed at being tricked. Well, I'd be pretty pissed off if I had paid a hell of a lot of money for a meal and got rinsed spaghetti hoops.
3 She had not eaten pasta till she was 14. Of course, poor dad had to buy smart price sauce to go with the pasta and serve it in chunks.
What happened to the beautiful chunks of pasticcio she used to eat at the Greek church gatherings?
I just can't cope with the pointless lies!
To be fair, the mel donte partnership ended a little while ago. I think the last live was in March but no doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong

I think the Mel Donte made an appearance because Miguel has the princes thing going.
Vlad still hasn't clocked that we've moved on from freezer storage and toastie machines
