Seems like we all forgot about that one. She never mentions it and barely promoted it when it was published either. Wonder what the sales figures were like?

Completely forgot she published a book this year she barely even mentioned it herself!
Snap! So these upcoming books are some new deal then
tit, I did a chaos and spelt “Thank you”and does completely wrong. Can’t edit, sorry, I’ve been on the 0.5% kombucha all evening and am feeling a bit tipsy
It's weird that she doesn't feature that book on her website (which badly needs updating, as does her Wikipedia).
We’ve all forgotOh, tit. Sorry, I forgot about that bookYes, of course it does.
I'm hearing 'wet ham' to the tune of Blur's Parklife and now I hate the lot of you
We all forgot about her latest book.
Does wet ham go with unruly labia?
Most sweet and sour sauce is based on ketchup, not tinned tomatoes. Ketchup, sugar, vinegar, and a bit of soy. Tinned pineapple is definitely a good addition. You don't even need half a tin, so you can drink the juice, and use the rest for something else. Cheap as to make, and stuff most people have in
wet ham
Exactly! Tomatoes still haven't gained much traction in Chinese cooking.
I remember my mother-in-law's sweet and sour chicken, gloopy and sticky with cornflour and tinned pineapple. That was back in the 70s/80s and still a lot tastier* than Jaqui's version I'll bet.
*It was rank. She was a lovely woman, fab baker, but terrible cook!

When Jack turned all-American MOM and started trying to appeal to her new Yank audience (such as it was), part of me was hoping she'd end up doing a collaboration with Sandra just to witness the absolute culinary car crash that would have ensued.
Nobody should dare criticise it. Don't they know that she wrote this working 20 hours a day but also while sleeping all day due to severe burnout and it's a miracle it got finished at all because of how unwell she's been? And don't they realise that she's helping people?
Currently sitting at 34 in the Big South American River's "Best Sellers in Quick and Easy Cooking" list. Embarrasingly this is 5 below "Tin Can't Cook", but shockingly it's one above Shivi's "The Ice Kitchen"
. (THAT MAN occupies slots 5. 12 and 14 in the top 20.)
Oh sweet Jesus, I think I’ve done myself an injury (severe) from clenching so hard through that. Awful, just bleeping awful.
God, this lady is like academic Jack.
She's trying to act as though she's being mansplained at but as people are saying on the Twitter thread, she's actually trying to avoid showing her ignorance through discussion by simply claiming expertise via having a degree.
Should we all goand watch GFFBD being pulped? 
Jack’s been upstalking retweeting Marcus Rashford and sharing other thoughts.
Jack’s been up
Wonder does Jack ever get through a singular day without mentioning
a) that she's autistic and/or ADHD
b) that she's ex fire service
c) an item she has but it's donkeys old/was a gift/is secondhand/was from a charity shop
a) that she's autistic and/or ADHD
