Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[Jelly Bean]

I love those bungalows you see especially in Australia and 'Out of Africa' with those beautiful covered wide verandahs with ratan furniture and a gin and tonic.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

Fucking hell at those print screens above, she‘a 100% here!

Also it’s a shame the tweet is missing, but is this her speaking about Jamie Oliver?!!!

 

[emm]

Her knuckle dragger followers are trying to do a jack and start drama with nigela and target people.

Because she's been so kind to Jamie

wtf?! So insane she is acting as if she never tweeted anything about it...

She can’t leave the house not have visitors because she is immunocompromised but she is annoyed that she didn’t get to present the cooking show that Jamie is doing?

How was she planning on presenting/filming the show if she can’t leave and no one can visit?

Channel 4/ BBC won’t show a programme to help the nation that is filmed on an iPhone!

she is so full of contradictions it is insane

I mean who wants to eat a tinned peach curry?

Not I!

 

[CoconotLoco]

Just realised that the vegan banana bread from A Girl Called Jack (published 2014) that she shared on Twitter yesterday is almost exactly the same as the recipe that was posted on BBC Good Food in 2012

In past interviews she openly admitted copying or adapting recipes from other chefs/ websites including Jamie Oliver, ironic.

This is her. She has a name of her own. Even though Jack just refers to her as Mrs J Their relationship sounds pretty messed up, although it's difficult to know what to believe when Jack is talking. She definitely makes it sound like their are power and control issues, lots of talk about "being allowed" to do things and permissions. Sounds fucked up to me.

Instead of a daddy dom relationship, mummy dom perhaps?

Now those sound like tatsy and interesting recipes unlike the shite that Jack comes up with, which let's face it aren't even recipes it's just bung a load of cans in a pan and heat, Ive not read any of her books or seen that many of her 'recipes' to be honest but the ones I have seen just sound vile

Exactly, those are well thought out not just random tins thrown together irrespective of whether or not they work. Rachel Roddy also had some good ones https://www.archive.is/oldest/https...pes-for-lockdown-certainty-in-uncertain-times

 

[poppycat]

I think you're right. My dream home is a proper mid-century bungalow, much to my husband's dismay

There was one for sale recently up in the hills near where I live, my dream home but too expensive sadly. A mid-century bungalow with views, what more could we ask?

However, she did take Katie Hopkins to court, sued the arse out of her and made her file bankruptcy. So maybe not all bad?

Yes, and I can’t remember why she sued her now. She’s now got a safety net in the form of her wife to be, who lives with her and who she calls Mrs. j. Her name is Louisa Compton and she is the,Commissioning Editor at Dispatches, previously worked at Victoria (Derbyshires) Live.

 

[rosieflowers]

What about the kid as well?! No mention of him. Maybe he gets to eat normal food

Also I refuse to believe that's all she has in the house now... That's just poor organisation, shopping, looking after yourself if you have the means which she clearly does if she's buying burberry and penhaligons

 

[ChilliBean]

Looks like she already knows about tattle! I’m glad someone called her out though

 

[my_escape_from_the_ads]

I watched her podcast with Russell Brand and it was really uncomfortable and awkward to watch. Definitely not presenter material.

 

[Hunty]

Dale Berning Sawa (who I know nothing about tbh) wrote an article for The Guardian on March 12th, which already seems an age ago, about store cupboard recipes. One of them was a flatbread pizza, which looked so easy and tempting. I haven't tried it yet but keep meaning to. Basically make a dough with flour, water and flavour (if you want eg poppy seeds, Nigella seeds), brown in a frying pan either side then put in oven with topping of choice for a few 10 minutes. I've never made pizza full stop so no idea how this varies.

That sounds good, I quite often make pizza using a tortilla wrap or a pitta bread as the base on those days where I fancy pizza but can't afford take out and can't be bothered going to the shop to get one from the fridge section, I once used garlic naan bread and it was lush lol

 

[emmer_moans]

On twitter she does seem to get embroiled in a lot of discussions.

 

[LennyBriscoe]

It's actually quite bad cos as a director you have a number of *legal* responsibilities you have to fulfil and you can get in shit for not doing it.

I'm not au fait with the ins & outs of TV commissioning, maybe it's the wild west, but I know a lot of larger firms won't engage with sub/contractors unless they're all legit and above board and up to date on CH (& audited for larger entities, this'd be N/A for her obvs) and all the other stuff like credit worthiness & KYC type checks for other risks. I can't imagine someone that can't be fucked to file their accounts is going to bag a major prime time TV show??

It’ll be that pesky ‘admin assistant’s’ fault...

 

[Mustard]

It’s a two week gig. She just sent out an email. A very disingenuous and faux reticent about everything including talking about how she will still only draw the living wage.

this gonna be fun to watch.

What a fucking melon, all her shady shit towards Jamie Oliver paid off, let’s be honest her girlfriend works for the BBC and she got all the little celeb fan girl-ling round her, it’s not what you know it’s who you know. All the self isolation pleading poverty goes out the window and I can see this only being a short gig once they see what an awkward shit she is onscreen. Look how roasted she was on Twitter for a small 10 min gig on This Morning!

I missed the roasting. Her g/f used to work at the BBC but has been at Channel 4 for a few years now and just landed a new well paid job there.

 

[CoconotLoco]

Her ex Allegra McEvedy broke up with her not long after she came as non binary transgender, although I’m not sure if she identify as that anymore as it’s hard to keep up.

 

[Mustard]

Loving Jamie’s vegetable laden macaroni cheese today.

 

[éman]

There's a Scottish journalist who reminds me of her, anything around, she has to have it and 100x worse than everyone else.

I know exactly who you mean

How did you guess?

She is deffo getting worse. Not quite in Monroe territory yet, but worryingly close to it.

 

[PartOfMe]

At least leave it a week before you come back Jack! Then you might get more idiots praising you.

She can't happy with thousands of idiot followers so has a go at "trolls" but it's all attention seeking for her to go on about how much she works, and for below minimum wage.

I think she lying seeing as how many books shes released, she'll be on a good deal and making far more money than she wants to admit.

And if she really wants to earn minimum wage being a self employed writer isn't know for be well paying, get a job in asda babe!
