I’ll post the whole thing, for your reading pleasure.

I’m proud of you, Fraus - she addresses the “five a day” fiasco. Except there’s no way there’s even 70g of kale in there.

Can't believe she doesn't rinse the beans.

In that blog post she is already making excuses for the fact she can't be arsed won't be providing a week's recipes*. So the poor sods who rushed out to buy the same £20 bundle of slop are going to be left floundering, eating Bollock Bangers all week.

*However, the blog is clearly written for us to address all our points raised here. So get cracking Jack, can't want to see the sardine and onion ring noodle bake recipe.

LOL can you imagine? Jack sees herself as a general, leading the troops into battle, not a common foot soldier who does the dirty work

I doubt she'd pass a probation period given the chaos/health issues/general unreliability
she would point out how it was all wrong.

Sentient mirror :LOL:

Love the image she's created - poor lil ol' me trudging down to Asda in my holey shoes and a little rag on a stick to carry my pitiful haul of frozen sausages

She’s definitely trying to get some sort of partnership with Asda isn’t she.

'or dark green cabbage instead if you wish, fresh or frozen, or leave it out. Ha. ‘Leaf’ it out.'

Her attempts to be funny are excruciatingly cringey, and she laughs at her own jokes 😬

How does she have the nerve to tag that “healthy” when she’s using those god awful “sausages”??
Also, she’s still got the 5-a-day portions wrong. I’m sure it’s 80g not 70g.

gravy and baked bean stew with rice??? even students wouldn't eat that. not to mention the bleeping stuffing and vinegar.
Its like she's some kind of cartoonish villain who hates food and has an evil master plan to deprive the world of delicious recipes so we can all be as miserable as she is

80g, you’re right. Maybe when she says 70g she means 80g. In the same way that when she mentions living wage, she really means living wage+dividends+freebies+tax deductibles.

I was reading the recipe in complete disbelief that she steals a living writing this codswallop.

A more unappetising mish mash of ingredients would be hard to find. And so bloody wasteful.

Also she has clearly fried the sausages post bake to make them look nicer. Baked sausages always look horrid.

Hehehehehehe. She says that SB may be “developing an enthusiasm for cookery”.

Slow your roll, Jackie; isn’t that Buddy Oliver’s “niche”.
A wise decision. Unless he wants to live of JMs offerings, he's better off learning to cook for himself!

I'd develop a passion for cookery pretty damn sharpish too if my only alternative was eating Jack's slop.
The poor kid got a stale bagel for his breakfast with cooking bacon (which at least has 87% pork, which I suppose is better than the sausages). It would have been hard work swallowing that. No wonder he wants to learn to cook.

Sorry to be a snob but £1 for 20 sausages, no thanks!

Cooper just admit it, you made the stew! Raw and yet somehow slimy rice and all.

Something not right about this recipe. I can see a piece of celery in the photo but it's not listed as an ingredient? Perhaps my eyes are deceiving me.
