It looks like one of my FIL (who is DEAD) self published books. Awful typeface, terrible photos, lack of editing. I fear this will not get Jack their forever home unless it’s already bought and this is the excuse.Now she's hopefully fucked off (until 4am-ish) I've had a closer look at the Grifty Kitchen screenshots that were posted pre-chaos.
You've all already covered the unfettered insanity of the "tips" she's come out with and the laughably manipulative dedication ("this one will get us our Forever Homenow go and put another jumper on, mamapapa can't afford heating") so I SHAN'T talk about them.
A couple of the recipe photos looked a bit familiar, but I thought "Jack started writing this book three Prime Ministers ago. She'll have actually put some kind of effort in as opposed to recycling recipes that have already been published, won't she? ...Won't she?"

Between the regurgitated recipes (which were utterly SHITE even the first time round), the groundbreaking tips such as "if you need a jar for something, use an empty jar that originally had something else in" and potentially lethal advice re: stabbing tins and gluing dishcloths, this is truly going to be a contender for the worst book she's ever produced. I knew it would be bad, but not this bad. Considering she had to go back to do edits for the better part of a year, what completely unpublishable state must it have been in before!?

Oh Mavis, that's all so dangerous. I use a mallet to mash potatoes.

I see that she is still boasting about sneaking mushrooms into the food of a child with alleged sensory issues, bleep.
And I thought it was because the rent was 286% of her income so she'd finally accepted she couldn't afford to stay there."And now moving house"
Is the insinuation here that if it weren't for the bad people and the knowledge of where she lives she would not have had to move???
I am really confused. I thought she hated the crappy bungalow but we had the whole I'm going to be evicted why can't I stay if my new flat falls through and now this...
Make it make sense!?!?
Classic Jack - multiple explanations for something, all of which contradict one another and can be swapped in and out to suit whatever argument she's trying to win at any given time.
I've had my skint moments over the years but I can't say I've ever stood in my kitchen and uttered the words "tit, no egg rings". Surely anyone in that situation would do what millions of people do every day and fry the egg without a ring.
You would think with her previous (alleged) experience of AA meetings and sponsors where she was a victim of misogyny and I think actual assault? That walking into a room where a bunch of people immediately start making comments about her body would be kind of awful, no?
Didn’t a pastry pie embossed “bro” lead to belief the lodger was actually her brother sent there during a particularly cold snowy
patch to help ensure she didn’t slip over
Why would she have people sanding down metal tins?! Bits of metal dust will end up in the egg white, how is this safe?!
Why if on the bones of your arse would you head to B&Q for sandpaper because having round eggs were a priority?!
What bleeping planet does the publisher live on to think this is ok?
It's the chain that confused me - the tiffany one doesn't look like the one on Pesky Blinders necklaceCan opener? Can't I just use a big knife?
Jokes aside food cans are for storage not cooking, this is actively dangerous advice. Can insides are coated in a lacquer or epoxy/phenolic resin which is NOT suitable for cooking. LJC this is a lawsuit waiting to happen
I believe that's the Tiffany pendant dear heart, has she replaced the chain?

Exactly!! The fact thats in there as a ‘tip’ shows just how much she’s scraping the barrel. Amazing that this tit got published. It’s surely her last though.
I've found a pic of Jack's non-consenual boobs
Not to mention that a lot of households, poor or rich, don't have sandpaper on hand.
I'm currently sitting in the Exchange and Returns section of IKEA (send patience-os) and I have to say that most of the porkies I'm overhearing about how the purchase got that way are more credible than Jack's fabrications.
It had better not be, I am hoping for the poverty memoir which promises to be the funniest thing ever written. Just chapter after chapter of Jack making wild tit up and throwing tantrums about Iain Duncan Smith.
It sounds like an unreasonable use of time and resources.
Is she showing off a Christmas present?
What a waste of frigging time/cloth
And glue. I spend my free time gluing my hands and then peeling it off.
I think that one may be dead in the water, tender one x
