Shouldn’t it be vegetable oil not cooking oil? Usually recipes specify either vegetable oil or olive oil, as olive oil has a distinct flavour and vegetable oil has a neutral flavour.

It's really quite insulting to all that somehow everyone thought these recipes were a great idea for thrifty cooking.I had to go back to that because I couldn’t White believe it. Reading the whole recipe and method, I think my eyebrows have now LEFT my face. If you’re feeling fastidious you could, instead of quartering the cherry tomatoes, cut them into EIGHTS. Surely if you were feeling fastidious you’d mix mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice and have your own cocktail sauce?
Pan fry the grapefruit in its own juice or solid fat - it’s impossible to say how long for because everyone’s pans are different.
once it’s all prepared, pop it in the fridge until you want to eat it.
by which time, the liquid from the prawns, the lettuce, cucumber and grapefruit will have pooled in the bottom and you’ll have a watery plate
who pays her for this?! bleeping HELL.
I'm still cringing at her giving a lengthy description of what a rolling boil is. It really shows to me what disdain she has for ' the poors'
Yep! Such thriftiness
I’ve been vegetarian for 37 years 
but the thoughts of putting plain tofu in that pie instead of sausage is making me feel quite peculiar. That plus mealy dull white beans sounds horrific. I might have to take myself over to slopalong and do it.

That chicken looks like when archaeologists unearth a really well preserved gravesite and their skin is like v patinaed leatherThe first thing I thought when I looked at the pages - 'I've seen that chicken somewhere before'...
If you saw it at the M+S rotisserie you’d be scared
Turns out my best friends parents know Tom 'Fingers' Kerridges mum. I've asked her to TELL them to try and get his honest opinion on Gak Monroe. Watch this space!
im hungover to my eyes, lads i think im still drunk.

My kitchen and hall and stairs are both painted in churlish green (we bought far too much when we did the kitchen hence using it up. That's a thrifty tip for you all)
Yes, absolutely xThe first thing I thought when I looked at the pages - 'I've seen that chicken somewhere before'...
How many times has she been paid for this nonsense now?
Literally, what’s the point of saying ‘cooking’ oil anyway, doubt anyone was going to be using crude oil to cook their sausages in.
She suggests brushing it with oil and soy sauce for a glazed look, if you're not using egg or milk
Yes, a bog man chicken!
I think she needs to collaborate with Pippa Middleton who famously suggested that you could freeze water to make ice - what a book on entertaining they could do!I had to go back to that because I couldn’t quite believe it.

I have a friend who works for a well known premium paint company in the marketing dept I’ve suggested that they rename Elephants Breath and call it Grifty Grey

How do you finely slice a bollock sausage? They’re just paste inside.
I reckon the feeling is mutual
I've had a good long sleep, had a scroll through the hellsite and the thirsty Monroe stans are still trying to get her to notice they exist with their dreary paint suggestions. She's responded to barely any of them. Aren't they embarrassed? 🥹
I have a very similar cast iron pot that I use to cook my chicken in, and I can say without fear of contraction that that chicken is cold and has just been dumped in there, it's also overcooked and will be dry as duck.
