Presumably the same problem with edible food?! Just ONE edible, visually appealing recipe??What’s her problem with salt? Just a little bit of salt?

anyway, I noticed this yummy scrummy gratin was tagged in "entertaining" (ye gods it is) and I thought what else does she think is suitable for entertaining? so I had a scroll.
in amongst the bleak brown offerings, I thought oh this looks ok, you know, there's large bits at least

then upon studying said recipe, it concludes thus

"make a slurry"
followed by a plea to get her on the telly.
some things never change
Wait. What's all that stuff at the end? She's rallying people to her cause. She wanted them to get her a cookery show! She's absolutely shamelessanyway, I noticed this yummy scrummy gratin was tagged in "entertaining" (ye gods it is) and I thought what else does she think is suitable for entertaining? so I had a scroll.

How can making a lasagne be so difficult? Crap strewn across every surface? What the duck is she doing?Oh I just love looking through all the terrible recipes on her website. The intro to that sausagne abomination is a very interesting insight into how much Jack hates cooking. Like, truly hates it.

Yes That was the Lasagne Challenge video on the Guardian Food YouTube channel. "I've never made a lasagne."Hang on a minute . Didn't she do some video where she made lasagne to compare to ready meals and say she'd never made one before ?
Buuuut she deep cleans the kitchen 12 times a day!It looks so dry that I literally just had to have a glass of water. Also, I present to you profesh food writer and photographer, Jack’s hob. View attachment 252622View attachment 252623
Nobody is perfect, least of all me, but if I was going to post photos of my hob i’d have got the cif out first.
I know she hasn’t got a blue tick Jack but would a “oh I’m sorry to hear that” have killed you?
Daisy May's comment was about naming her child after a friend who had recently died. Jacks reply was "I approve" (because he is called Jack) followed by a laughing emoji. Talk about inappropriate.Just saw an annoyIng comment from her on daisy May cooper’s post about her son’s name - me me me it’s all about meeeeee
There are many recipes in the roasting tin cookbooks that are much simpler, just as cheap and def more appetising.
I personally don't understand why she had to buy an M&S ready meal when she could have just googled.J Monroe, January 2014:
I asked my blog readers what they wanted me to tackle. The one that cropped up time and again was the humble lasagne. I promised I'd give it a go, wincing inside. You see, despite cooking every day for years, I'd never actually made a lasagne. All that snapping sheets of pasta, two different saucepans and an oven on the go. It felt like too much effort and energy use for just us – and my son never asked for it.
So, I bought one from M&S, unwrapped it, felt through that sticky white sauce and revealed layers of minced meat, tomato sauce and pasta sheets. Not so mysterious. Later, when I pulled my own out of the oven, hot and crispy around the edges, topped with bubbling cheese, and sat it beside its shop-bought relative, I couldn't believe I had made it to the age of 25 without cooking one from scratch.
J Monroe, March 2019:
Making lasagne is an arse. A labour of love. An every-pan atrocity strewn around the desolate wasteland of what was formerly your kitchen. I have made dozens of lasagnes in my short lifetime, and halfway through every single one comes the moment, without fail, whereby I survey the three pans on the hob, the piles of everything, the crap strewn across every available worksurface and some of the not-available ones, too, and I wail inside that I could have just bought one for less than a quid at the supermarket.
What was that about being unable to lie, ever...?
Did you remember to add the calories from the LARD?I worked it out:

217 cals per serving, 83 of which come from the cheese (which doesn't even have a name like cheddar or brie...just...cheese ). This is supposed to be the main meal of the day.
I mean, maybe she's putting a LOT of the optional breadcrumbs on top?
I messed up the wee ones fried egg at weekend I tried to disguise it with tomato sauce .Wee bugger scaped it off and said this just isn't okay .She did eat her bacon and whined that Grampa needs to make me a poached egg really soon !I’m genuinely interested to know if her supposedly fussy son would eat this. I subject my daughter to some not so ‘kid friendly’ meals but if put this in front of her I think she would burst into tears. Imagining rice and canned tuna and cheap gravy and courgette all cooked into slop is making ME want to burst into tears (and be sick)
It would be another tea and toast for me tonight I am afraid.If you put it in front of *me*, I'd burst into tears.
You forgot gaslighting charlatanJust so we know, she’s ‘generally mostly a hard rational and not hysterical person.’
