In this case the person being owned is an auntie from a Twitter anecdote that could be total bollocks. Jack sitting there high on her own farts having owned a woman who might not even exist just about sums her up.

This idea that budget cooking is her 'lifes work' and specialist subject is bollox. U don't get to have a lifes work at 34 for starters. And its too broad a church. How many food writers/chefs/programmes have there been about cheap accessible recipies and food budgeting? Neither specialist nor expert.
IKR? Cannot stand SC, she is utterly vile - hate being in agreement with her, but she might help with the awareness of JM's grift.
oh glory be Jennynumbers, you don’t half make life a richer and better experience
We can loathe both - it’s like watching a vile parasitic wasp laying eggs in the massive slug that has been wrecking your perennials - both are utterly revolting but at least your main issue is being resolved
Mr Beacon is still going with the recipe book. Every so often I hear a whispered "What the duck?" Or "ohhh noooo"
The tone of the writing and style of cooking is all over the place too, and there is no understanding of technique

Poor soul. Sounds like he needs a cup of sweet, strong tea for shock and a long lie down

In one of the poorest areas of the South I believe (many thanks to the frau who told us this).
I thought I'd accidentally wandered onto a Dr Pimple Popper thread when I saw the microwaved plum
I guess we can put microwaving fruit to ripen it on the list of 'never actually tried it' things that Jack recommends. Like half of her recipes.

And i do the same, not just to be frugal but because it’s a) better for the environment b) actually helps a charity and c) you get lovely, sometimes vintage, items which no one else will have
I must admit I have always been confused that I never heard Jack mention charity shops
Apologies to all the OG frauen who have walked this path before but oh my bleeping god this book is terrible. Also you can clearly tell where she's just ripped off other cooks (sometimes with credit, sometimes not) as the methods and writing are so different. And as a cherry on top, we get a totally different origin story for the rinsed hoop abomination ("poor me I was so depressed I could only rinse hoops") compared with her recent "I did it for a food bank who wanted to know what else people could do with hoops" protestation
She has claimed on a few occasions that she buys most of her clothes from charity shops. But, with her weird quirk of using Americanisms, calls them "thrift stores" which is where the confusion may come from.And i do the same, not just to be frugal but because it’s a) better for the environment b) actually helps a charity and c) you get lovely, sometimes vintage, items which no one else will have

Tbf she has claimed to find things like le cruset cookware in them. Because admitting she bought them would spoil the ‘give me your money’ con. It was something hilarious like a quid if I recall (no, charity shops aren’t that stupid-and even if they had underpriced massively, surely Jack with all her high paying Google/tv jobs & free money for nothing should have told them they could charge far more & paid a decent price. But ripping off charities maybe doesn’t matter to her as long as she benefits).And i do the same, not just to be frugal but because it’s a) better for the environment b) actually helps a charity and c) you get lovely, sometimes vintage, items which no one else will have

Jack the Ripoff! Can someone please say this again in about thirty pages because it is an absolute banger.
Please can he write his commentary in biro in the margins, then donate the book to a foodbank or charity shop?
Alas he's got it on Kindle. But it genuinely fascinating and horrifying in equal measure
She'd scream 'stalker!!' at them, taze them in the 'nads and report them to the Crime Squad, most likely.
Corrected it ..
