To make it vegan, use vegan sausages. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta.
Move over Ferran Adrià, the culinary world has a new superstar!
If you’re having milk from the goats or eggs from the chickens then you can’t feed broccoli that’s left over out your kitchen. Why is everything she does wrong?!I take it all back. That book looks brilliant. Feed broccoli stalks to my dog, goat or chickens (so relatable) and prepare a tray bake of broccoli stalks and sausages. Y tho.
And bless - re the disgusting broccoli coleslaw 'work through with clean hands'
If I was working on a commission for a customer, they'd be thrilled to see that I was desperately panicking about it, the night before it was due, posting non stop on social media, and generally doing a half assed job.

I'm sure the parents of the children in my class and my headteacher wouldn't mind at all if I wrote my end of year reports 2 years late.
Why bother writing a cook book if you're geting that sweet sweet Patreon money for doing duck all anyway?
(Basically, all the things, the post-its, the handwritten pages, the labelled jars and whatever nonsense she'll post pictures of, are more props for her 'budget food personality' play than part of actual work)

Who is her audience for the new book? Is it poor people? If so, why is she making them pay for previously published recipes when they’re already on a tight budget.
if it’s MC/aspirational folk then is the ‘(i use cheap sausages)’ line which she’s written, there for performative poverty tourism and nothing else?
I don’t understand who she thinks she’s writing for.
And an iMac with mahoosive screen
Can't seem to find it, but I did end up on her website from 2013 and it was like a time warp - Jamie vs Jack, "rain is still wet if you went to a grammar school", me making recipes for the poor doesn't mean the poor should eat them...all the hits...same sh*t nine years later
Ah I couldn't open that link! So that looks like she wrote the recipe for someone else and is just using it here?
Out of the blue, this just popped up on my Instagram timeline and I can’t stop laughing, thought I’d share….Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran with the same energy as a certain person, he gets everywhere, Harold what you like, making his name away from Jack 
It almost certainly was on her website, but as it was written in 2019, it's now gone (the crack team of a dozen engineers still haven't managed to get the backup working).
Great promotion for a recipe "wtf was I thinking here"
the expression does not fill one with confidence.Luv the bit where she says she didn’t realise she had been kicked out of labour
really needs to open her correspondence, in whatever form it arrives.
Why on earth is she adding more costs to her book’s project?
She’s not a superstar maverick that the publisher will happily bend over backwards for because they shift volume. Her last book sold 3.1k units, she likely hasn’t outearned her advance on it and I’d be amazed if the publishers have made good on their costs.
Jacqui ask your publishers what their planned marketing spend/activity is for this book, I can’t imagine it’ll be anything more than asking you to tweet about it
Ask which booksellers and supermarkets have shown interest in stocking it for Q4 too… it’ll be a humbling experience hun.

To make it suitable for grifters, use 5p bollock and eyelid sausages - they will make a great substitute.
How about the old classics - cat ate my homework, I left it on the bus, my grandfather is DEAD.
Hi Jack, as a hard deadline haver myself I will give you some advice: when the deadline looms it is best to turn your phone off/put it out of reach, put on music you know will make you focus (trance for me, Infected Mushroom have some good offerings) and plant your arse in a chair until it is done. The only time you should be not working is when you are on the loo or brewing up. Of course I am not a smol pixie so people are questioning me about my deadline if my work hasn't appeared within minutes, not years. Deadlines I have to hit every week.
My ultimate tip is do more work in advance to avoid a working overload at the last minute as you will make errors, the quality will suffer and it is worse for your mental health. You know, stuff they teach kids when handing out homework.
