She had the bare faced cheek to claim she only spent £300 on sideboards in the Shattenstone interview.
Much poor. Still coining it in from Patreon with no benefits to her ‘supporters.’ She’s a liar and a charlatan.
Hang on. I thought the parents could only afford to eat tins of cold beans? But here they are with deli goodies in the fridge.
Seems to be a sudden rise on the bird site of accounts wondering where Guest has gone and why she’s so quiet…
Much like the Tanzanians she met as an Oxfam ambassador, she had known hunger. There was food, but sometimes not enough. Although there did seem to be deli-style Coronation chicken in the fridge for sticking her fingers in, and in the corner shop for dumping over a bag of chips. And snaffling. Much like in Tanzania, apparently.
Lol - the cure for split mayonnaise and custard mostly involves just sitting there for ages whisking. The perfect task for someone who can't actually cook to keep them quiet and out of the way.Many times. Including here to make “aioli” when Leggy was still doing the whole “take your idiot plaything to work and inflict her on your employees” thing.
BOAK!
Punkin’ Aioli
Last week at the restaurant, I spent what felt like most of a shift rescuing split things – joking on Twitter that I felt like a Relate counsellor for aioli and custard… And to be hones…cookingonabootstrap.com

Does she have any clue that most people simply cannot go out and buy all that furniture in such a short period of time? It can take many, many years for people even on good incomes to collect even a third of that stuff? We were in our last 4 bed house for 18 years and we didn't have anywhere close to that amount (or indeed quality of stuff - and still don't).
She just buys it all over a few months/years? Either her income has been substantially higher than she has owned or she is absolutely drowning in debt. I suspect it's both as if latter, I still think it would indicate a pretty generous income given how spenny her shopping habits seem to be.
Such a typical guest tale which sounds plausible until you actually look at the detail.
Guest - I walk to and from school to save bus fare for spending on sweets and pokemon cards like the plucky pov I am!
Also guest - On way to and from school, I spend more money than the bus fare on chips and coronation chicken, resulting in a net loss!
I see her expert money management skills started early.
We were pondering this last night. Based on what we've seen of her spending over the past 10 years (and I definitely believe she has compulsive spending problems, as well as private medication prescriptions and £3k month running costs on the Bungamansion) there's something that doesn't add up. I doubt she can get much credit, what with her terrible credit history and CCJs. Either she has earned/grifted a lot more than we imagine, or her folks are helping her out, or maybe she got her mitts on some of Horrible Grandpa's inheritance.
She does say she would ‘grab a tub from the corner shop’ and we know that in Jackworld shoplifting is fine if you need to so….
Saw someone on Xitter asking if the Curry’s collab was the big comeback?
There deffo is some socks/bots asking about her on there, no exactly going viral though. The one I saw doesn’t even follow her, what are her followers doing.
I haven’t looked for a while but is the insect fan still about, I couldn’t find them when I looked.

Yea it just doesn't make any sense as she presents it.
I wondered whether she was able to get into some hefty debt during her more successful years but she was never a huge star by any stretch of the imagination. Plus it was all post 2008 and it's been so much harder to get any credit since then. Mind boggles.
If the parents have been giving her huge handouts on top of everything else it makes the begging grifts even more sordid and unpalatable.
Perhaps some of the desperate public pleas for cash coincided with the parents refusing to put their hands in their pockets once again.
Or, perhaps she is a foul money hungry grifter who wants more cash from wherever irregardless of need.

And money really doesn't go that far any more.
When we bought our current house in 2010 we could run it on one (frozen) NHS junior manager salary - which was half our total income at the time and a deliberate choice. We definitely need 2 x that income just to service the running of the house now, and holidays, home improvements, new-to-us cars or extra bills have to be saved hard for.

For whoever asked for another example of something not exactly original from Nadiya, look at the many many recipes online for Cardamom Kulfi including several near identical to the various forms she's done including the one with raspberries that pre-date hers.I made Nadiya's no churn ice cream after watching her show a few weeks back. I can't remember the last time I made something "off the telly".
Double cream. Condensed milk. Cardamom. Whip. Freeze. Serve. Recommend.
LJC can you imagine what a Munroe version would look like? *shudder*
She's enthusiastic, seems genuinely lovely and great for telly as she's a pleasure to watch but there is definitely overstatement about how original some of her recipes are, and more with small changes that are similar to the changes Jack makes and then is called out for plagiarism on here. Not just Nadiya either in fairness, though she's an oft cited counterpart to Jack, Jamie Oliver does the same and I'm sure most of the celeb chefs do too. Part of it is just that there's a limited amount you can innovate with some things at this point without going into Jackslop ick levels - in the end there are truly only so many ways you can add a to b to make c.
It's another example of how a valid criticism of Jack is actually also her showing the true face of the industry and that others deserve criticism for it - a lot of them appear to do exactly the same as she does, they're just better at covering it up.
You can't copyright a recipe idea or list of ingredients, like horse gunk lasagne or baked bean kulfi or whatever. However, you can copyright the specific words you've written for describing the method.

I think this explains a lot about some of Guest's recipes (the ones that look vaguely like recipes, not mixed slop concoctions like three tin tender). She copies them from various sources, then changes them to avoid plagiarism, but clearly doesn't check or test properly to see if they still make sense or work.

I still can't believe Allegra let her play chef in her actual work kitchen. Honestly, as if you would.
Plagiarism abounds in the cooking industry and I'm irrationally agitated when on cooking shows the cook says 'My' this or that bjt I suppose it's just they've fiddled with it so it's their take.
My issue with Jack's cooking isn't plagiarism, rather the fact she fiddles with stuff to the point they become gross, as well as the teeny tiny portions and way she goes about costing them, whilst slagging off anyone to tries to do likewise.
a few issues actually
As an aside I made the aloo burgers from Nadiya's new book last night. Easy peasy and YUM.

She’s back on the hellsite, she’s just let some people into the Comments Club!
To be fair, Nadiya was making a tarte tatin (I think) a la mode and I just focussed on the easy bit! I doubt she was claiming to have invented a three ingredient dessert.
I pity the co-worker who must have been instructed to keep splitting enough sauces to keep guest busy throughout her shift.
