So ,Jack Monroe thenHer recipes are aimed at people who can’t cook. Like me. I can’t look at at a list of ingredients and a method and see that it’s not going to work. If I then made the recipe I would think it tasted like shite because I can’t cook, not because the recipe is a load of cack, like my attempt at the peach and chickpea curry a few years ago. It wasn’t indelible, it was just bland as duck.
I am sure this is the reason she has had any success with her books.
Luckily my OH does the cooking and hardly ever sticks faithfully to a recipe because he knows what works.
No need for the oil & soy sauce (which will remain fiercely independent of each other) - I already have a glazed look.She suggests brushing it with oil and soy sauce for a glazed look, if you're not using egg or milk
I might have completely made this up but I think once upon a time, one of her bestest, best pals softly, gently and peripatically gifted her a baby grand piano for one of the previous RENTED hovels, during THE POVERTY.The piano thing has made me chuckle, coming up with a plausible alibi that weaponises frugality in a gotcha moment against her trolls…
Forgetting entirely that most households don’t also just happen to have a piano laying around
Confused as to why she would stand there boiling soap under the glow of a solar lamp, arthritis aching after a cold shower and the heating off - with a baby grand in the lounge and not once did she consider selling it.I might have completely made this up but I think once upon a time, one of her bestest, best pals softly, gently and peripatically gifted her a baby grand piano for one of the previous RENTED hovels, during THE POVERTY.
Which, when you think about it makes far more sense than popping round with a bag of shopping and a tenner for the 'leccy meter.
Are there any photos without filthy nails?Thank[space]you, tenderheart. But oh, dear, they seem to have chosen the most dire and unappetizing photos, including that one of Jack's filthy thumb squishing the cookies. I can't imagine this is going to make readers rush to the shop to buy the complete book....
The sales figures for this terrible book are an absolute catastrophe.Thanks, Jenny. We'll have to stick with the Amazon chart, then.

So SB still can’t play the piano then.
Problem is, if someone libels you, and you choose not to sue, and that post has sufficient reach (particularly when you reply to it yourself and draw attention to it), when someone "relevant enough to sue" says the same words, the serious harm argument can't be easily borne out, as irrelevant squig can be argued to have caused the harm. As such, where's the loss? The Katie Hopkins case was one person saying something so bafflingly obviously wrong that it was easy at least to show that any harm from that statement was down to her rather than now with these 100s of other people, newspapers, anonymous squigs, etc.Nine replies to this, not one of them supportive of Jack.

Put on your best sad face, and a grey pov jumper, then simply write a blog.Fraus, I once again come to you with concerns that I might in fact be Jack. My forever home (it’s a FLAT AKSHUALLY before any of you accuse me of buying a HOUSE), is decorated with farrow & ball - Rangwali in the bathroom not that anyone asked - yesterday we ran out of jam, and then I realised my son was walking round in wellies that are too small for him (because I thought they were a bigger size than they are, not because I’m cosplaying poverty). Now how do I go about turning this trauma into a lucrative 10 year career?
Don’t forget the witchetty grubJack's recipe for prawn cocktail is frozen prawns mixed with ready-made, shop-bought seafood sauce
But notShe’s allergic to flavour (and texture)
Do you have PayPal?Fraus, I once again come to you with concerns that I might in fact be Jack.

Say that a bit louder you'll get sued. But not for ages as she's a good year behind on starting her claims.Jack’s rosemary roast potatoes contravene the Trade Descriptions Act.
Very telling that not ONE blueticker or chef or person from the acknowledgements has mentioned GK. It is baffling Nigella hasn't. She's always promoting new cookbooks.The sales figures for this terrible book are an absolute catastrophe.
It’s also hugely embarrassing, especially when you consider the pages of grandiose acknowledgments, as if she was receiving an Oscar or something, and all the A list name-dropping. (Gary Lineker FFS). Plus the comment about hoping the book would get her that “forever home”. And the high-profile endorsements from Nigella and Jay, who will now be forever associated with this sub-standard piece of crap.
I’d be astonished if any publisher ever takes a risk on her again.
Really.Hold on, so is this suggesting that Jack was part of a Tory think tank? much socialism
They chose a nice photo of her
ETA - it’s a cross party thing but I’m guessing her role is this…yep loads of experience
