How long exactly has she had to write this? Over two years, isn't it?Even from what little we've seen she makes the exact same mistakes in Grifty Kitchen that have been seen in the slopalong before:
These are just the most obvious cock ups to me though, it's the same old horse shit
- Boiling rinsed baked beans for 20 minutes
- Forgets to say grate the cheese, just fold it into dough as-is
- Lists unpeeled bananas, slice them but then slice the peels seperately (when did they get peeled)
- Says to use self raising flour AND bicarbonate of soda
- etc.
Not even mentioning the results, calories or nutrition, which look to be largely as bad as usual
It's just this time there's dangerous tips as well
I don’t know Peaky Blinders so I’ve had to imagine an equivalent.I’m just cringing at her pretending that she’s been given a nickname. Ooh. Don’t go there Jack. Nobody thinks you look like a Peaky Blinder. Stop it.
I appreciate the gesture though because I too woke up from a big nap and thought I was being accused of manically being able to forge a book by Jack. In my fugue state all I could think was “but it doesn’t even sound like a spoof, it’s pretty much exactly what kinda sh*te I was expecting” (albeit the knife/mallet even bamboozled me. I wouldve proffered to just eat toe nail gunk rather than sever my carotid artery opening a tin of beans or having a circular bastard egg which tastes of blood and fish)Definitely valid to challenge if the canal isn't being hoodwinked but it's in both Apple and Google's systems for the actual preview of the book (not just reviews or random screenshots).
The only way I can see it being wrong is if the publisher provided the wrong draft/version?

ETA just woke up from my big nap has been discussed already x
I favour the "sanctimonious middle-class first-time mum who's not short of an opinion on how everyone else should parent their children" look, myselfGenuinely my look. Have never heard of Joe Brown. Might have to forensically investigate. Don't revoke my membership card,.
How to reduce hand knife injuries
Step 1 Elimination
- using a safer cutting tool (deburring tool/scissors)
It's STEP 1 for SPM
Also do not google hand knife injury, especially 'avocado hand'. WARNED.
The risk of severe injury cannot be understated here.
It doesn't even make sense when can opener is in her key list:

The only caveat is we don’t know whether the requirements are the same now as when she’s talking about. They could have tightened or relaxed and unless a knowledgeable Frau was doing something similar to her at the same time, it’s hard to say.Which bit is the lie though? It must be the number of GCSEs surely
Mr Beacon sounds like my kinda man. I’ll foster him if you ever get bored and wanna do a Shirley Valentine for a week in Tenerife!Mr Beacon couldn't believe the excerpt was realBear in mind this is the man who brought Tin Can't Cook on holiday with us so we could forensically pick apart all the ways in which it was dire and spent a good couple of evenings owl champagning.
Me too, same colour,I favour the "sanctimonious middle-class first-time mum who's not short of an opinion on how everyone else should parent their children" look, myself(although I like to think I only match part of that description...)
Completely agree.Imagine if English is not your first language or you have a learning disability or you are a young person, possibly a care leaver with not much kitchen experience or a support network of older people you can ask advice of. Maybe you are physically disabled and moving into independent accommodation for the first time. Money is tight, very tight and you qualify for a referral to the TT. They give you a back of food and a free book, how kind.
But it's Jack Monroe's absolute travesty of a book. This so called advice/hack with the tin and knife might be taken very literally by some readers because the media uphold Jack as an unquestioned expert. Someone who is not confident in the kitchen and with additional literacy/language barriers might suffer a terrible accident and blame themselves. Because how could an 'expert' be wrong? I honestly think there should be some sort of action taken to have this book removed from circulation. It is dangerous, useless and out of date. Jack, Bluebird, the TT, Nigella and Jay ought to be very ashamed of themselves. Is this book not two years overdue? And this bullshit was the best she could come up with? Bluebird should have commissioned and paid a hefty fee to families fleeing violence, refugees and disabled people living independently to create a book with nutritious and culturally diverse recipes and advice or hacks that are safe and accessible for everyone. But no, they just wheel out same old broken record in the form of Jack. If Jack were not so blinded by money, she should be offended. She is just a token pov for the media to use.
I think I'd rather be celibate for life!SaturdayThursday night party starts here!
