Looks like a bad wig she's wearing...
The Nigel Slater quote has also been recycled from Good food for bad days. lol.I'm now wondering if the other compliments have been dusted off from somewhere

Thread title? Don't know why, but it made me laugh.
Gawd...sorry...I deleted that post...the photos were blurry!
just the same ol' shite really
Hey, don't knock the lard-on-holiday tip. A friend of mine lived in Nigeria for 2 years and never ran out of Irish meat because every time he got a visitor we'd bring him hundreds of euros worth of raw steaks, racks of lamb etc in our luggage. The hold of the plane kept it cold and then he'd put it in his massive freezer.
(That may actually be something for the Venomous Brandy Index. The povs can't afford to drop a few hundred on meat all at once.)
"Authenticity is crucial to her political legitimacy" - which is one of the many reasons why her career won't recover.
What an astoundingly boring cover.
Jack could be the Angry Pixie…
The Nigel Slater quote is also on the Amazon page for Cooking on a Bootstrap.
I had noticed before that the Nigella quote praises Jack as a person, not the recipes in the book it is given as an endorsement for. The quote from Nigel Slater also stops short of praising Jack's food or any particular recipes - and just as well as this quote has now been attached to three books.
So that leaves Jay Rayner. I take it he has seen the recipes in Thrifty Kitchen as his quote is specific.

Nah, the Angry Pixie was actually scary, she just thinks she is; similar footstamping when things don’t go her way, mind…Jack could be the Angry Pixie…
Errr I don't think she HAS joined forces with THAT MAN
Astute. When it comes to cover blurbs, always read between the lines.
I remember many Fraus took the time to share their own thrifty tips on the thread while Jack was hurridly composing the first draft of this book, so I wonder how many (uncredited) canal tips have made it into the book!
I can't believe they ever considered that depressipes is an appropriate word to use in the marketing blurbThe Nigel Slater quote has also been recycled from Good food for bad days. lol.

I get the gist but as someone who experiences low lows, it doesn't conjure up a very nice picture.
Is that normal? To recycle quotes from people an infinite number of times? Surely the quotes only relate to the book these people looked at/read the first time? I find that very odd. And most disingenuous. Which is right on brand for JM I suppose.
Hmm...some speculation m'lud.
Three years of recipes disappeared from website so she could rehash them for this book rather than come up with anything original, or possibly because she had been copying them from elsewhere and someone copped it?
Stunt hair - very girly housewife vibe. For Harold's benefit do we think? 'Look at me, a demure little babymama MARRY ME IMPREGNATE ME I WILL HAVE LONG HAIRS'
Also she can duck off with accusing JO re cheesy chips, she was the one who said poor people sit around eating burgers!!! Histrionic witch. We always ate well, if slightly boring (my mum being from the meat and two veg culinary school)

She probably thought she was James Joyce for 'inventing' a new word. There are plenty of words in the English language that I could combine to coin some new, ridiculous term, but then the language is probably much better off without their existence. Even the word 'depressipes' makes me feel worse about myself, and I say that as a Frau who is no stranger to a visit from the black dog. If I am in a bit of a tricky mental health situation, and I can only speak for myself, I want to find comfort. Often, reading or listening to a reassuring voice and finding the resolve to take care of myself (and believing that I am a person 'worth' taking care of) becomes some kind of priority. Not 'have some slop on yer plate, you old depresso!' Most unhelpful.
