Can’t wait to find out the true nature of thatOr perhaps her published finally wants that unicorn of a book. You know, the one with the idea that no one else has ever had. That one
Yeah she totally does fancy herself as the next Nora Ephron and has done for ages.I bet you it's a Nora Ephron inspired book. I love Nora Ephron but am so sick of mediocre middle class women being called 'the new Nora Ephron.' No, they are not. Including some very simple recipes amongst some self obsessed ramblings does not mean you've written the new Heartburn.
I have been trying to decide this myself ever since I found these threads! I had really enjoyed them but I can’t look at them the same way now... they’re just sitting there in limbo on my shelfI'm doing a clear out. Should I keep Pretty Honest and Pretty Iconic? I did love them at the time..
Give them a read and get back to us!I feel the same! They were a great moment in time but if I picked them up and read through them again what would I think? Would my piss be boiled?
I chucked mine into the charity bag last year.So it's not technically a cookbook but it has recipes and the idea is so good and unique she was told to keep it under wraps in case anyone stole it. What the hell could it be?

Waffle with waffles?Can’t wait to find out the true nature of that. Surely it can’t turn out to be nothing but waffle and recipes? Not even Sali can be THAT self-important?
You are so right. Spot on.I bet you it's a Nora Ephron inspired book. I love Nora Ephron but am so sick of mediocre middle class women being called 'the new Nora Ephron.' No, they are not. Including some very simple recipes amongst some self obsessed ramblings does not mean you've written the new Heartburn.
I had a quick look through Pretty Iconic a month or two ago to remind myself about bath pearls, then stuck it in the charity bag. Didn’t bother at all with the other one.Give them a read and get back to us!
I was just thinking that, is anyone else on the Jack Monroe threads? It reminded me of her food. I’ve never seen anything that isn’t a stew/daal/food for people with no teeth as it’s referred to on JM’s threadsThe thing is, her food never looks either appetising or creative. I've never seen someone post such bland food pictures on the reg.
Exactly. We do not need a Welsh beauty influencer's daal recipe when Meera Sodha exists.Plus there are so many cookery books. I have no idea why Sali's recipes would be any more interesting than any other random person's.
Good point. Rejected by all publishers?This book has been in the making since about 2017 though
I saw a comment from someone asking if she would ever write fiction and she said no. What happened to Falling Down Laughing?
