The thing with cooking, and especially when teaching someone a new skill, the idea is to get them to feel comfortable in their new endeavour - as such, a bit of creativity and the acceptance that mistakes will be made are part of the deal of being a teacher, no one learnt anything without making a few mistakes along the way. This isn’t teaching, what she’s doing is essentially demanding that it be cooked exactly to her liking, the question is, what are the implications if the student fails?

Like is she genuinely going to know the difference whether the correct measuring tablespoon was used or not?

Jesus. Can you imagine the atmosphere that particular night! I can't believe LJC didn't escape while she had the chance but then Breakdown Jack made a full appearance when 'she left'

I’m not gonna speculate about why they reunited but there are comments and gifts from L’s friends documented on Insta and twitter during what is presumably the “she left” period that suggests they were very happy for LJC and that speaks volumes.
 
I'm still trying to make sense of that recipe. Is she telling Louisa to cook 3 separate portions of the curry in three separate slow cooking dishes? 🤯

I wonder if Louisa posting that was a secret cry for help. How thoughtful of her to explain how to carry hot dishes though :rolleyes:

urgh it's so patronising, I hope it was either intended as a joke or Louisa had a stern word with Jack after this, because nobody deserves this level of smug on a weekday 😭

Obvs this is speculation, but I think we can see a glimpse of that in the WHITE NOT RED spring onion instruction. I imagine Louisa being asked to get spring onions, she thinks the red ones will be nice, but Jack throws a strop and never allows her to forget about it. Despite the fact that an onion is an onion is an onion #onionpolice

Yea if I deviate and use whichever onion I like then I’m being creative, maverick and relying on my years of hard learnt experience - but if you do it you’ve failed, again. (For example)
 
If this was posted by a woman in a heterosexual relationship you’d be sending her details of a DV charity. Not even being flippant, that’s full-on abuser stuff. 🚩🚩🚩

As someone above says... Louisa doesn’t need to be able to cook. She’s busy and well paid and Ocado exists. “Teaching” her is just a cover for control and belittlement by a woman who is good at precisely duck all.

I’ve a friend who for years was beaten black and blue and financially controlled by her female partner. Abuse in same sex relationships isn’t spoken about enough. Funny, then, I suppose, that Jack has, when she’s clearly the perpetrator in other circumstances.
