NGL, I thought I was just really stupid and had never noticed the top page numbers before.
The Finnish recipes look shite but I will say at least she tried something a bit different than her usual christmas tips she always gives (get a chicken instead of a turkey and use bollock sausages instead of pigs in blankets). I suppose at least she actually put the work in and attempted some recipes at this point. If she was asked to do the same now, she’d probably just gold spray a peach and chickpea curry and call it a day.Just noticed that Jack admitted Currys were sending her kitchen freebies early on, so all that was bollocks.

6 years down the line she actually admitted she shouldn't have even gone there, while reposting said joulutorttu/pinwheel biscuit recipe
It even made it into AYI120R

Pinwheel Biscuits, 9p each [A Year In 120 Recipes]
A few years ago, the Guardian asked me to write a recipe feature on a Christmas dinner inspired by Finnish traditions. I was a new food writer, and a little green around the edges, and I attempted …web.archive.org

Christmas – Jack Monroe

And here’s some vintage Jack I found along the way. Finnish Christmas dinner with weird little fish as an alternative to prawn cocktail. But then, I should cut her some slack since she was also a sex worker/sleeping rough at this time.

Thanks @Yel and that makes complete sense, guilty for quote posting and sorry!I hate to be that person, but it's best to stop with the fake receipts unless it's blatantly obvious like a ms paint job.
Otherwise people will then start questioning if every post is a joke or not, and there's been a bit of confusion today.
How can anyone find this wet American shit comforting or profund? Its offensive. Thank god everyone who's ever pushed society and human rights forward didn't believe such navel-gazing apologism.
Yeah this paragraph reminds me of Jack too. Spoilered for triggering content.Interesting. There's one paragraph in there which strikes a particularly relevant, in terms of JM, note :
"There were literally dozens of articulate survivors with powerful testimonies they could have chosen instead of ....."
Aside from the fact that it sounds and looks gopping, how on earth does that feed six people????
This has sadly happened to me. Although the stunt hair amuses me every time, so it’s not all bad.
I suspect she may have been trying to catch herself an Old Harold (assuming the pregnancies ever happened...)
Luckily we’ll get the free e-book of 30 recipes that’s being released alongside Grifty Kitchen!
Has she made this suggestion with the new book yet? A booksellers org has invited people to pre order at £18.99 and they will donate a copy. I think Jack may be waiting for the book to come out and be told how FABULOUS it is before sneaking out the suggestion again.
I didn’t sleep well last night so could be reading this wrong & it’s probably Jackmath & Jack lies however she states that what ever she gets paid, the same or a greater amount goes towards helping poverty. Most places aren’t going to pay her a large sum & then double it & more.
I’m amazed to see the feed your family for £20 woman is still at it. Admittedly, she does post meal plans, but the amount she buys seems to be tiny to feed a whole family. And the dishes seem to be getting sadder, like root veg casserole just sounds kind of bleak and not very filling as a meal. It just really plays into the rhetoric that people can’t afford to eat well because they rely on ready meals or can’t cook.She could even mention that £25 won't go anywhere near as far as it did last year
, you must have seen my unruly lawn. I shall keep it securely locked in the garage. I shan't have it stolen by pesky Southend thieves.
