I started reading and just gave up. It's the same absolute nonsense you see on her Twitter. QuarterHack?

Come on man, you can’t seriously write that in a book which is pretty much filled with recipes that involve canned food for fuck sake.Erm. No Jack, that’s not even remotely a good idea, unless you fancy bleeding out on your kitchen floor before the ambulance arrives. What is this dangerous babble.

So, too poor to have a can opener (60p at Tesco by the way) but assumes you have unwanted sharp knives and a hammer or mallet?Erm. No Jack, that’s not even remotely a good idea, unless you fancy bleeding out on your kitchen floor before the ambulance arrives. What is this dangerous babble.

Clearly written pre energy cost of living. Nobody on a tight budget can justify preheating an oven an using it to make their own bread. Bread is near impossible to make yourself for the same as pre-made and is the preserve of the time rich middle classes, if you are working two min wage shift jobs you don’t have the time to faff with courgette soda bread that most kids ain’t gonna touch 🤷That’s all folks! (I hope I’ve not pissed anyone off with my inability to spoiler!). https://giphy.com/S6xacKfkGIdB9xJeif

Especially as it’s “not particularly hygienic and an awful lot of work for a reward of some coke beans for tea”.

Also, if you can get one tin opener for £1, that’s just 5.56% of the RRP of this money saving book… OR you can buy 17 tin openers with 99p left over instead of buying this tripe, the only purpose of which is to line Jack’s pocket and for the Guardian to spunk all over her again.

Don’t bash millennials for not having tin openers – donate one to a food bank instead
Yes, a basic opener costs just a pound or two. But that’s a fortune when you can’t even afford to feed yourselfwww.theguardian.com
Not being rude but ffs come on, this shit isn’t remotely based in reality. In fact I think Bear Grylls does something like this with a snake skin? Like I’m sorry but there is a welfare state and there are charities in position to help people who’ve got nothing at all, no it’s not perfect but I’m sorry no one in the UK in 2022/3 needs to do this and it’s appalling this has been published?
This is probably me being thick but why wouldn't you just use one of the pots with a lid she tells you you need and just hold it slightly open over the pot?Make sure you do this with a really sharp knife. What could possibly go wrong?

It is utter utter shite, plus once cooked rice does not need to be drained.Not being rude but ffs come on, this shit isn’t remotely based in reality.

This is honestly something you’d see in ch4 news reporting on a humanitarian crisis like people surviving bombings or in huge refugee camps?
The Nigella one is recycled from GFfBD:Do we think Nigella and Jay actually read the book before they endorsed it? I would be mortified if I saw my name attached to that. I’ll be interested to see the reviews.
Apparently on kindle you can ask for a refund if it’s substandard? Don’t use it myself but for any fraus and ninnies who do could save a few £.Apparently on Amazon you can buy it and return it by 31st jan!
It's a bit Take-A-Break tip where you're told how to save some tiny amount of money by using something more expensive as a "hack." Where am I getting this fairly large clean square of cotton from? Am I supposed to use my clothes for this? And the tin opener thing is even worse. I've never not owned a tin-opener, but a hammer is for many people one of those "ask if your neighbour has one" things. Also someone's getting that knife in their eye, aren't they? Just buy a fucking tin opener!Not being rude but ffs come on, this shit isn’t remotely based in reality. In fact I think Bear Grylls does something like this with a snake skin?

Is that why she is spite recommending it to mean trolls and ninnies?Can someone please, please, please get a doctor, nurse or paramedic who cover A&E to review this book because frankly based on what we've seen so so far Jack is trying to kill and injure people.
