Awful. And she’s made money off the back of tit like that.

I don't really know much about Jamie Oliver, but I feel sad for him with this. "Be kind" is clearly only when it suits people..
I'm all for people being called out when they have done something crappy, but all he has done is accepted a job? If she was in the ring for the job and they decided they didn't want her then why should he not take the job? I really hope she doesn't end up getting a show/co host out of this. Really disgusting behaviour.

I met Jamie Oliver when I was a teenager (like 20 years or so!) as my friends Mum worked as a publisher. He was the hot thing at the time, and he was really nice to me and my friend. He’s a bit of a large tongue’d Tory, but he was nice then and I like his wife’s kids clothing line!
I bought Jack’s tincan book even after the peach curry disaster. Tried salmon paste pasta. Never again.
This has been an eye-opener for sure!
Has anyone seen her tweet where someone has posted ingredients for her keyworker daughter and asked Jack for advice? I want to tell her just because you can mix foods together, doesn’t mean you should!
Chickpeas and couscous is not a meal!
that’s exactly what I said!Chickpeas and couscous is not a meal!
Exactly. He was offered a job and accepted it. Why on earth should he look around to see if there are other candidates? Frankly I would trust his recipes far more than her's anyway. Her food is, well, joyless. As Crocodile Dundee said - 'Yes you can eat it. But it tastes like tit'.
jamie Oliver’s cookbooks are the only ones that I have bought, and they have stayed in my book collection. Ministry of Food helped me so much as a student!
Had never heard of JM until she was mentioned in the Sali Hughes thread. Had a look at her Twitter and oh my god, her recipes make me feel ill.
I was a student from 1991-94 and had a "cookery book" that was all about using cans and cheap store cupboard ingredients to make meals. I was initially intrigued by her concept but frankly I think her recipes are awful and taste of despair. I feed my family cheaply but well because it is what working class women and peasant women have done since time began.
I’m sorry tell that to our great grannies hun. I’d never heard of her until it was all over Twitter and her attitude absolutely stinks. Also I saw Emma Kennedy praising her so that immediately makes me think She's currently trending on Twitter for giving people recipe ideas with what they have in their cupboards. Seeing something like that I would usually think was just a kind gesture but is it her trying to prove she deserves her own show or something..
Also, has she tried buying a tin of anything recently? Shelves are bare Jack.
Still forgetting to # Be Kind I see. Nasty. Especially considering we are all suffering the effects of the pandemic! Jack needs to get a grip.
Edit: Tweet now gone.
