I was thinking along similar lines - that swapping "salt" for "pepper", or "penne" for "spaghetti" etc probably counts as an entirely "new" recipe in her (literal) book.
And really - if all herbs are interchangeable, and all oils are interchangeable etc, surely all recipes are interchangeable, so who needs more than one?
I personally have about 40 cookery books but only ever cook sausages and find I don't need them at all,

Can someone enlighten me about Iqbal?
I checked the wiki and still couldn't find anything (but I am Very Old and my eyes don't work as well as they did 50 years ago when I had the figure of a sylph and all around here was green fields.
I love it when fraus hear about him for the first time

Basically, a few years ago several comments started appearing on a Sarfend local rag’s website by the same bloke.
They were all articles about guest or written by her, this guy wrote very passionately about how Jack has ruined his mate Iqbal’s life after she’d been a tenant of his.
He said that she’d had wild drug parties, orgies (which hilariously was kind of the least believable accusation), been antisocial and trashed the place.
The funniest bit is that he kept repeating that she had smashed the toilet basin and started shitting in bags instead and left them all for him to clean up when she did a runner.
Then Iqbal apparently had to sell the trashed house and get a job at Sainsburys.
It’s clearly a case of mistaken identity, or this fella is trying to be funny/playing silly buggers/cause drama/is a bit out of it. But it shall remain in our lore 🤍
Also he always called her a sh1tter with a 1. Hence JennyNumNum’s campaign for JUSTICE FOR IQBAL
(Miss you sh1tter hater, hope you’re okay 🤍)
Pretty sure this is all correct? I was only a twinkle in Tattle’s eye at the time.
