Was the anshoyard phase really two years ago? I'm sure there's some sort of quantum strangeness happening with Jacktime. How much would Brian Cox charge to come and give a talk to the canal?
Nigella's lush, delicious, stunning, enchanting over-writing is bad enough, but Jack's writing is like an incompetent imitation of Nigella's. Not to mention that Nigella's recipes actually work.Even her word salads are pish

It’s what brought me here a couple of years ago. I was an admirer of Jack and then the kitten happened and I was horrified she could treat it in such a way.Not a lot to add other than I'm still raging about that poor kitten that she caused so much unnecessary suffering to , just for social media attention.
Jack's preambles are far bleaker. 'This recipe came to me as I was feeling highly disgruntled at having to make dinner for myself and small boy. I softly, gently rummaged around the fridge and found some liquified cucumber, fingered a wilting leek and threw in a tin of prunes. It looks awful and doesn't taste much better but here's the recipe anyway...'Nigella's lush, delicious, stunning, enchanting over-writing is bad enough, but Jack's writing is like an incompetent imitation of Nigella's. Not to mention that Nigella's recipes actually work.
And when Nigella starts off a recipe with something like "The idea for this velvety concoction came to me as I was returning home from lunch with some delightful friends who had invited me to their summer home. As I strolled along the peaceful country lanes, the scent of freshly-mown hay, full of promise for the brilliant days yet to come, reminded me of [goes on like this for several paragraphs]" I would be willing to bet that something like this actually happened. Unlike Jack's tiresome variations on the theme of "I'm a wacky smol pixie and this unexpected inspiration just popped into my wildly creative mind".
I love that the camera reel shows that she took loads of pictures of the eggs and they still came out looking shite.@blurstoftimes Anchoiade Devilled Eggs recipe for you dear heart
She chose to illustrate this recipe with a rather unprofressional phone screenshot for some reason, so left in the camera roll (again)

Totally agree Dear Hoopdee,Nigella's lush, delicious, stunning, enchanting over-writing is bad enough, but Jack's writing is like an incompetent imitation of Nigella's. Not to mention that Nigella's recipes actually work.

I mean wtaf is she talking about?
'Not do your eggs any fear nor foul?'
Your eggs should be 'luxuriating nearby awaiting their fate'?
Utter, utter bullshit.... my tender brain can not compute, It hurts... gahaghaaa....
They’re bloody eggs, it’s not the second coming of the messiah
Well upside down fish pie, or as I like to call it, fish and veg in sauce over mash, was 7 years in the making dearheart.View attachment 1765424
Jack has never thought about a recipe too much in her life
This link took me down quite the rabbit hole.I love that the camera reel shows that she took loads of pictures of the eggs and they still came out looking shite.
The thought of anyone humiliating an 8 year old child on the internet, like that, actually turns my stomach.The chores list is horrid and the comments about SB’s toilet habits are demeaning in the extreme. And also a bit rich coming from someone who appears to have an aversion to soap.
Also, who has the time to write out all this shit and make notes and then document those written notes with photos and loads more writing? It’s all drivel but she is writes A LOT. She has handwritten stuff absolutely everywhere, she can’t even help herself writing all over her kitchen walls. And she blogs and keeps spreadsheets and is (usually) clogging up social media feeds with great wadges of text. She never uses one word when 200 will do. I find myself wondering whether this compulsion to write is indicative of something.
I think it’s the tomato soup that’s made with a tin of tomato soup plus a load of other ingredients. But I would not put it past her to have more than one mise en abyme recipe.Well upside down fish pie, or as I like to call it, fish and veg in sauce over mash, was 7 years in the making dearheart.
Is this the Good Hearty Soup recipe that uses a tin of soup, amongst many other tins, to make soup?

Because Jack is a chef. Mere cooks make creamy, rich deviled eggs that lots of people enjoy. Chefs make warm, soupy, canned fish eggs and eat them in bed. Under the covers.What is it with her and doing weird arsed fiddly things with tinned fish? And there's always fish oil stained notes too. Surely it would be better to JUST MAKE DEVILLED EGGS but add a sliver of anchovy for taste and decoration for those that like them?!
