Hey, @BootstrapCrook! I know everything’s kind of a bin fire your end at the moment but would you consider a small but huge tweak to the veritable bullshit index? When someone lists cooking utensil 'essentials', it would be great if it automatically compared ALL supermarkets simultaneously
I know I’ve said it before, as have so many of you, but she’s a spiteful cunt. Who else in their mid-30’s is that arsed about what a teacher said that you’d still be bitter about it 20yrs later?Borbora is the Borbora of this one, as are Piotor and Jehnnie.“cast out from a secure lifetime job into poverty and destitution”

And here’s her publisher enabling her. View attachment 1835417
Jack seems to have forgotten that she told the Times in 2015 she’d already OWNED Borb for the burger thing

Can we also please spare a thought for Old Harold who LEFT causing a rewrite of the acknowledgements, and probably the shredding of the continuity wig in the accompanying tantrum.
ETA I will be DEVASTATED if BIB above doesn’t make it into the acknowledgments (actually I’ll take it literally anywhere in the book)
Not only that but she's actually threatening physical harm on people herself. She's threatening to 'chin' people. Although, let's be honest, if she had a face to face confrontation, she'd be quivering like a shitting dog.She does at least acknowledge here the harm she does when she signposts stuff to her flying monkeys. Let's be clear, though, that what she calls "mild blowback" includes doxxing, unfounded threats of legal action, and people wishing physical harm - with multiple examples of each readily in evidence over the past few days.
It can only be that they have finally thought, fkit, let's just hope we don't make too much of a profit margin that is a loss whilst we go through the contractual small print and find a way to say WE LEFT.The editors/publishers just let Jack write any old shite and don't even edit it, don't they?
I think all the “tips” will come from the Budget DIY Facebook group that she is part of and similar. They won’t he hers alone.Do we have receipts for when she was crowd sourcing thrifty tips from her followers? Were they promised a book or an acknowledgement or anything in return?
I won't interact with her, but I do have a real urge to post this under every single thing she tweets.I have a twitter account and follow Jack, but have never interacted with her. The last thing I want to do is talk to her.
Funny you should say that, because I’ve just been reading her list of MUST HAVE kitchen equipmentPoors don’t have pan lids
Wtf. A colander is a pound you self indulgent clown. Next up- don't bin that half a melon after eating the inside, it makes a great bike helmet, toot toot
She really has never been poor has sheFunny you should say that, because I’ve just been reading her list of MUST HAVE kitchen equipment
Which includes pans with lids.
It also includes a load of shit you don’t need (seriously, I earn a decent crust these days, enjoy cooking, cook almost daily and don’t have a load of these “key bits and pieces” and “might want to adds/really nice to haves” because they’re SO far from fucking essential that they’re either unnecessary or superfluous when you have other things on this list.
It’s “essential” to have a small paring knife, a couple of baking sheets AND a couple of roasting tins, but you “might want to add” oven gloves and a chopping board at some point? And you should only get a spatula “if you can wangle it” after you get a single egg frying pan, bullet blender, griddle pan, loaf tin, fairy cake tin, muffin tin, and cake tin or two?
Also, using a bread knife to cut squashes and swedes? Yeah, you’ll need that knife sharpener. FFS nobody at her publishers gives a flying fuck what she puts out there, do they?!

Strikes me as a bad idea too. However it's not even Jack's own terrible advice. As I suspect we'll find with the rest of the book it's been plagiarised off the internet. It might be worth tracing all these twop twips to their source.This is botulism waiting to happen. Oil is one of the hardest things to fully clean off plastic. I'm as eco as it gets, but it's called single-use plastic for a reason. Not to mention the labelling issue.
Absolutely don't do this.

Why spend £30 on a rampant rabbit when you can just use whatever the greengrocers got on offer yomp yompI imagine a lot of her readers are the types who come in A&E with jelly moulds and hoover attachments inserted in them.
Accidentally fell whilst reading Jack Monroe tweets doc
Most household glues aren't food-safe - so won't washing your dishes with a glued pillowcase risk leaving toxic residue all over them?Strikes me as a bad idea too.

FYI: If anyone is thinking of using old clothes as dusters or whatever you can just cut them with pinking shears which you can get on Amazon for £3:49 or if that is too spendy just use them until they get too frayed to be useful. Faffing around with glue is just pointless work.
