The co presenter is the Saturday Kitchen presenter, which I think is currently off air. He us a proper chef and I presume he’s under contract so they gave to find work for him.
So Saturday Kitchen is not if air! I watched it today. It was him and a woman chef keeping their distance. Plus some dudes wafted in by technology. One was wearing a suit and tie.

The Kickstarter book debacle was awful. She refused to update the page in the end, promising that she would (or getting her “assistant” to do it) but never did. People were demanding their money back in droves and she just ignored it all.
What was the Kickstarter debacle ?

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.
Yes, she went public saying that she'd told Allegra she was transgender and wanted to have her breasts removed and Allegra wasn't happy about it. So they broke up and she started taking hormones while she organised her top surgery. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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
You're right, they're very similar!

Almost like there aren't thousands of youtubers filming themselves, or with aid of a relative cooking away in their own kitchens. I've recently got into Korean asmr-y daily vloggers, most of which are women, living alone and filming themselves cooking in tiny kitchens, no oven either. She could turn this around and say a video filmed alone in the home is less of a risk and quicker to put out than getting a crew in.

Hang on, this person has an assistant?! And she's literally begging for money on social media?

I know lots of people who work freelance. I don't know a single one who can afford an 'admin assistant'.
The “assistant” was a few years back and seemed to be basically a ruse to avoid answering her critics on Kickstarter herself. I’m not sure whether this woman was a paid employee or anything.

I picked some wild garlic today and made pesto from some sunflower seeds. Far cheaper than the rank old salad bag pond water pesto jack is strangely proud of.

I therefore created wild garlic and sunflower seed pesto and anyone else that ever uses wild garlic or sunflower seeds for pesto stole it from me 🤪 and foraging for that matter 😆

Imagine if a man with a large following went after a woman, called her "that woman" and encouraged hundreds of thousands of people to target her. I'm sure it would be seen as unacceptable, but jack gets away with it.
make sure you go after anyone on twitter who mentions it! and invent pass aggressive nicknamesfor them all obv

l‘m not a huge fan but I watched last night and thought the fish pie looked good. I would make that and I’m not an amazing cook. Haven’t been near a supermarket but grabbing some frozen fish if there is any, isn’t something I had thought of.
Beats Jacks ‘use the juice from some fish fingers mixed with an old tin of cannelloni beads and bung in someold tinned anchovies to make fish pie’.
I hope that is not a serious recipe of hers?!

Oh, I'm so happy to find this. I can't believe so many people buy into her bullshit when she is the absolute definition of a victim.

What hasn't happened to her? Homeless and/or living in grinding poverty (two minutes from her parents), raped, domestic violence, chronic illness, alcoholism. I'm sure I'm missing things. I would love to hear the other side of many of these stories.

Plus the constant dramatic exits from Twitter.

She's ridiculous.
Exactly. As I’ve said on here before I found it very difficult to believe that her parents wouldn’t have helped out with food and money.

Awaiting the day she discovers this thread and takes to twitter to tweet about all the hate she gets
😂

I'm afraid to watch her style of presenting. So many great foodtubersalready. Her friend Mr Oliver even backed a few a number of years ago.

It is bullying, regardless of the stature of the person on the receiving end or how they may or may not be bothered by it
I disagree. Bullying depends on a power dynamic weighted to the bully's favour. Otherwise the words don't have the same impact. If anyone can bully a celebrity you could accuse any twitter troll of that. They are capable of harassment if it goes to an extreme, or trolling as I say but excess criticism that he's unlikely to even see can't be called bullying. How can it if he doesn't know he's being bullied?

This is IN NO WAY meant as a defence. Just look back on the thread to see how much I abhor this person. I don't see it as bullying but I do see it as utterly pathetic and quite desperate. I actually think she wants his attention in a backwards way and is acting out like a kid to get it.

She's got her 250k followers to target Jamie on comment sections and social media platforms all over the internet. Just because jacks is lower profile doesn't make it any more acceptable. It's a disgusting way to behave, she's literally trying to tear someone else down for her own benefit.
Edit - OK I appreciate she has a larger platform than the average twitter troll. But it's nothing compared to the empire Jamie has. From his perspective she's still a nobody. Again I'm in no way defending her. Honestly I don't think she's important enough to be able to bully Jamie Oliver. The way she talks to some people who tweet her on the other hand definitely seems like that...
