There doesn't seem to be any joy in anything she does, other than talking about herself. Everything she does looks so half-arsed and haphazard.I know I may be treading onto the f and d thread here, but making a roux is so therapeutic. I was taught by my grandma and although it doesn’t happen often anymore () ,the smell of the bubbling butter and the sizzling when the flour hits it is so satisfying.
Part of the joy of cooking are these little sensory moments (which often bring back memories) so why would anyone want to miss out on them? I perfectly understand that people lack the time or inclination to make a roux, but then don’t cook the meals that require them.... there are plenty of other things you can feed people.
"it will thicken up in the oven"
Catching up, apologies if this has been mentioned already, but that fishfinger lasagne is an abomination - it's like something conceived in early hours by a group of students who've not long left home and been out on the lash. The entire joy of a fishfinger is in the crunch. Soggy, soggy fishfingers. Urgh.
Fishfinger lasagne? 
Why? I haven't watched the video but I'd imagine you'd need quite a few fishfingers so it won't be a) bootstrap cooking or b) very nice.
A better suggestion would have been fishfinger tacos. A couple of fishfingers (even better the ones in batter) wrapped in a tortilla with salsa, lettuce, pickled red onions, a dollop of sour cream. Delicious and kids love building their own tacos. But I suppose it's notrevolting wacky enough for Our Jackie.

I’m not going into look at her YouTube 1, cos it sounds nasty af but 2, I’m not giving her the view. People asked if it was monetised - are there any ADs before/during or on the YouTube page? If so then it is. I don’t know if people get money for just uploading vids on to YouTube??? Anyone else know?
Look, at the end of the day, meine lieben frauen (this is probably wrong, Harry I know) - lasagna, white sauce in all its forms and her ... they are not friends.

My kids love this!
Is there pasta in this lasagne? I couldn’t watch beyond the interminably slow haphazard leek cutting. I’ve gone right off fish fingers altogether
I always forgot *quite* how bad the DKL lasagne is every time until I see a picture. It really is abomination to Italian cuisine. And that's before she starts slinging soggy fish fingers into it...
Yes!Is there pasta in this lasagne? I couldn’t watch beyond the interminably slow haphazard leek cutting. I’ve gone right off fish fingers altogether
Poor Matt he looks like one of those terrorist films being forced to tell his parents he’s alright
Honestly, it was difficult to tell with all the wibbly wobbly cartoon trickery. It was difficult to glean anything at all.Is there pasta in this lasagne? I couldn’t watch beyond the interminably slow haphazard leek cutting. I’ve gone right off fish fingers altogether
Oh my God your suggestions sound absolutely horny.Fishfinger lasagne?

Terrible!
Oh my god
‘Look, I’ll eat it ok, just please, please don’t make me watch you make it again.’
I think we should all spare a thought for Jack's PR person right now
What was the crumbly stuff she sprinkled on the top? Dried chillis? Paprika?
The broken pieces of my soul
i think the wibbly wobbly shite is her trying to develop a trademark style. if if was for a gcse in media studies fair enough, but for a recipe or even entertainment it's tedious shite.
