I will never get over how amateurish that pre-recorded piece was. Let’s never forget the jaunty right angle elbow move! I thought she was about to break into a strange Cockney-inspired dance! Totally did me in!!

He was though and did have ‘it’ hence why he’s had such longevity in his career.
I’m glad the Kickstarter has been raised. I remember it, thought it was proper shady at the time.
It was almost worse ( if poss) than the live version!I will never get over how amateurish that pre-recorded piece was. Let’s never forget the jaunty right angle elbow move! I thought she was about to break into a strange Cockney-inspired dance! Totally did me in!!
Exactly! He uses the word pukka Less but watching him now his style is the same as his first series
Totally agree, I was referring to the tweet defending Jack that said "I doubt Jamie was any good at the beginning". Jack doesn't have it, that's for sure!
But also what a ridiculous thing to say about anyone doing any job much less one that’s so visible!
If I hired someone (ignoring fresh grads and juniors) into my team at work and they were missing the mark this significantly I wouldn’t say oh we all struggle to begin with~ I’d be genuinely very concerned that they lacked the core skillset required? There’s a degree of learning/teething pain (like her tech, tbf) on any job but you can’t just give someone a job in the hope they catch up eventually?? Do these people not work in the real world...?
I remember it too, reading all the angry comments with
Then she made the page private so only backers could read the comments (or maybe it was her comments or new comments - either way she was trying to hide what a mess it had turned into).
Just Tesco, bog standard maple syrup £2.00 a bottle, bog standard Rowse honey £2.20 a bottle. If I'm buying honey I buy it from a local farm at £5.00 a jar. Local pollen etc.
Watching today’s Jamie, he is making a great chicken ceaser salad...look behind him, please tell me that is a subtle dig and not just his lemon storage area.

That chicken salad looked amazing. And the warmth and the way he interacted with his family, world's apart from That Woman.
Can't imagine Jamie blaming his family on Twitter for his own incompetence
If he did, you can bet your bottom dollar folk like JM would be in there with details of Women's Aid for Jools
Sooooo dry! Despite the fancy jamOn the daily kitchen IG they have a pic of her brownies, look awful.
I've never realised just how good Jamie was. His recipes are varied, relevant (including the well chosen ones from his archive) and achievable. He's very encouraging and enthusiastic and helpful with his suggestions for substitutions, and his interactions/relationships with his family seem very genuine and sweet. I should think he'd inspire anyone who's getting into a bit of a rut with family cooking right now. He's a TV natural.
And Jack Monroe? Not.
And Jack Monroe? Not.
That Woman can't present for Jack, how long will her mob keep her from getting the sack?
We probably took Jamie for granted until we saw the alternative.....

I was agreeing with you too
It’s obvious some strings where pulled at the BBC for the gig because no serious broadcaster would allow someone who is so unqualified and amateurish to do live TV every day with little to no experience and a reputation like hers, If so it’s completely irresponsible.
I know it’s not the same thing but Come Dine With Me has been on the go for years and most of the people on that look more natural on camera than JM (even in her pre-recorded bit)
We need Dave Lamb to narrate Daily Kitchen
Oh nice one Jamie !!!
