Jack Monroe #447 Can’t even tell the truth about owning her own book

[SarcasticEllis]

Yeah not sure I’d want to walk up to a counter with it in public in broad daylight either. You’d need a bigger book to hide it in, like sticking a mucky magazine inside a Sunday broadsheet and sidling up to the newsagent’s counter to surreptitiously pay for your “item(s)”

id feel less shame rocking up to the till with Bestiality Through the Ages than I would Grifty Kitchen

So Jay IS endorsing this shite after all??
Baffling.

With a recycled quote that’s not even about this book, right?!

ETA and the quote’s not on their website pic either

We should prob start a new thread before we get Cabaly B’s pics. Im happy to try but I did do a big chaos last time

Perhaps Jay and Nige could do a cookalong of their favourite recipes from Grifty Kitchen, opening all the tins with knives and mallets and maybe even taking the fishy egg rings for a test drive. After all they were both keen to endorse the recipes and tips, it only seems fair they show the rest of us how they might work in practice.

Personally I think both of them should be locked in a kitchen and forced to cook and eat every single recipe in this book. And live on nothing else for a fortnight. THEN let’s see if they stand by their endorsement.

I have just laughed out loud in the middle of the pub at that. Tears, snot the lot

I'm not very forensic but looks like her follower number's dropped again

To 562k, I'm sure it was higher.

God I hope this worked.

Jack Monroe #448 The first ebook to be pulped in history

Thanks to @Geetbo for the thread title, nominated by @heretoreaditall2019. You both win a book of your choice from Jack’s 2022 reading list. Jack had a lovely relaxing new year with a hundred sausage rolls and a party of people who definitely weren’t imaginary. Grifty Kitchen is IN THE SHOPS...

Nigella actually endorsed good food for bad days with that quote, not this book. Just like Jack’s “brand new recipes” it’s recycled.

From memory, was there a recycled Nigel Slater quote in the mix for Grifty Kitchen at some point too?

The only pictures my teenager takes is me looking unintentionally uggo on FaceTime. No candid shots without a double chin for me, what a gentle shame.

Just looked at Grifty Kitchen & it’s 18 plus
A cookbook!! Just to make sure this isn’t commonplace I checked one of Jamie’s-which isn’t adult only. Hahaha, surely they’ve stuck that on in the desperate hope it mitigates responsibility?
Also a funny tweet.

I have literally NEVER seen an age-restricted cookbook before! Like, is that even a thing?

All I can think is that she's managed to sneak in a Burger Boy inspired recipe with a needlessly oversharing preamble about him softly, gently, painstakingly drilling her senseless for six hours.
