Don't think so, especially herbs! Just had quick scan in the cupboard:
Full jar of oregano is 11g, big tub paprika is 70g
Any normal cookbook writing person (like nigella) would say makes 1 jar, and not specify the weight but jack's a maverick

I’m creating my own chaos but fucking scampering to Tesco. Why can’t she walk like a normal person
Or march or yomp, the military around the edges . Or slither along like a jellied eel wearing DMs with soles made out of copper coins (yes you mithering ninnies I'm aware eels dont have feet Christ it's relentless do you want me to STOP BREATHING scampers off to arrange own funeral)

Why not. There must be a really interesting psychology around influencers, grifters and how they work. They're not wired the same as the rest of us. Do it!!
It is fascinating how influencers manage to hoodwink organisations and charities too. There are two influencers at least from the original Gleam Britcrew (which included the likes of Zoe and Joe Sugg) who are now ambassadors for children's charities including the NSPCC - brought in to talk about safekeeping - when they have plastered their own children online from birth with not one thought for their privacy.
It's along the lines of Jack making money from poverty and poor people. It is so messed up and wierd.

Whenever Jack gives it the big 'un about all the opportunities she's got coming her way I just think back to years past. The excited teething necklace grinning after DKL or whatever the shite it was. The series that had been 'years in the making' and turned out to be some appallingly put together VTs on Lorraine. Toot Tooting about the shop like any of it made any kind of difference.

None of it (like Jack herself in fact) ever amounts to anything at all. She's great at creating a smoke screen. The veneer of success. The appearance of 'aren't I doing wonderful things for the impoverished'...

But give it a couple of weeks and she's rattling the tin again like the pathetic no mark spendthrift she is.

So go on Jack. Toot away. Keep the begging bowl out. Because it will serve as a constant reminder that you're neither thrifty enough nor clever enough to be making a living without relying on handouts from well-meaning but dim followers.

I dont believe the email boxes bring full she admitted the other day she tells herself wee lies that things are going well to keep her sane. Why would this bonfire be different. I do think she will still get work though because people keep using her because she gives out the attitude of someone who is feisty yet does very little in the way of actual campaigning and therefore her employers look like they are helping but not actually doing much. People are right she is part of a much bigger problem and people will keep enabling her because she is easy to manipulate into thinking she is helping. In short she is a massive idiot who needs to realise her enablers are actually making her life hell by letting her continue this ridiculous charade. She cannot cook, nor write, nor campaign worth a shit. Its actually got to the point where it is embarassing.

Fuck
I didn't hate her before. But I think now maybe I do.
Fuck you Jack

Thing is in UK law the seller is generally responsible until it is in the customers hands- it's not enough to just say that they sent it.

In a different timeline, JM would have just gone on 'Come Dine With Me' and served stock cube 'n' bean soup, mandarin curry, and prune dessert; bored everyone senseless with talking over dinner about how pov she was (whilst the guests poked round her bungalow and found x1000 teaspoons/rusty jars and three freezers); and come last, and that would have been the end of that.

Alternative technique: there's a method that uses very high heat and TONS of butter than makes amazing scrambled eggs very quickly:

So today THAT MAN was on good morning America and The View.

The presenters of the view were getting on like Jack’s neck beard’s around him.

I'm quietly smirking at the thought of a frau getting a real doctorate from exposing Dr Dr Monroe

I guess it explains why Grifty Kitchen was so fecking terrible. Should’ve been finishing her book but instead, painstakingly braided her own hair, fake-tanned, posed in the garden to get just the right angle then buggered about with the resulting pic for hours on end. The sheer amount of time she can while away doing sod all…I don’t know whether to rage about the sheer futility of it or be in awe.

Over on Sloaplong, we've been hypothesising that she steals a lot of her recipes from post-war cookery writers like Marguerite Patten because there's so much weirdness around spicing and technique - but perhaps we got the century wrong?
I've got some of her cookbooks, and her recipes work because she tested them! She was a proper home economist, and a true doyenne of TV cooks. Jack isn't fit to lick her boots

I've seen no recipes in her books that Jack has stolen, Jack loves nicking off BBC good food as Andy demonstrated when he listed where her recipes come from, but to be seen as not plagiarising them she puts her coke addled brain to work and alters vital ingredients, which as she can't cook she doesn't realise the implications of.
