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.
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".
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.
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...'
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,
It was this bit about the eggs
that grated my mushrooms the most.... 
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....
ETA... because no, I haven't finished ranting....
She thinks she is some sort of Jilly Cooper/Shakespeare wordsmith.... and, yes Dearhearts, I am aware that combination is as odd as one of her recipes.... So go well pals, and duck off
Jack has never thought about a recipe too much in her life
They’re bloody eggs, it’s not the second coming of the messiahTotally agree Dear Hoopdee,

She's talking about hard boiling eggs fgs.
The usual 'Salt - 3p' doesn't even appear in the costings.

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?
This link took me down quite the rabbit hole.
The author notes list several charities and food banks Jack “works with”. Only one still lists her as an ambassador, along with Leggy (the Food Chain).
All the others have removed nearly all mentions of her. The only mention of her on Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) website is in passing in an article written about That Man

The thought of anyone humiliating an 8 year old child on the internet, like that, actually turns my stomach.
I hope he was and is with her as little as possible. She is vile.
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.
Anshoyard
. I've been reading that stupid article and looking at her pronunciation of anchoiade and thinking, is there an R in there? I don't think there is 
. I sound like a pirate when I pronounce it the Jack Way .
Just a thought, but if Jam might be 40 quid by the end of the year and rice went up 344%, Imwondering what the projected cost of Grifty Kitchen will be by its release date in Jan. Possibly they will pay people to take one?
Does anyone know why we have hats? Thankyou

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.
Happy Rosh Hashanah Jewish New Year
not you, frum shietel Jack
