She’s a recovering alcoholic? Why did she serve Marina tinned meat stewed in red wine then, and recommend red wine with everything in today’s ST magazine?

V disappointed in Marina. Always seemed lovely and sensible before today’s ridiculous column.

I’m a recovering alcoholic and I certainly wouldn’t be adding alcohol to any of my meals. It’s quite irritating to think anyone would say they were one for attention - and then not have the savvy to make sure they kept the lie going!!

She's also a recovering vegan.

Totally agree Katienana, her niche doesn't actually correspond with what the problem is at the minute. It's not poverty or foodbank cooking as it used to be, it's universal shortage of certain ingredients and how to make a big shop of sometimes unusual items last longer (to minimise trips out). So if anything it's about cooking with unusual ingredients/ substitutes, but definitely not tins as they're what's sold out!

Hello fellow! Also in the rooms, have avoided commenting on anything AA due to the traditions tbh. I think it’s quite clear there’s been little recovery or step work in this instance and that’s all I’ll say. Definite no vigorous self honesty being applied here. It’s a shame as the program is life changing / freeing and I’d strongly recommend it to all...

But seconded there’s absolutely no way I’d have booze in my house or be adding it to meals. Quite the opposite tbh, shopping in M&S is a bleeping nightmare as they put it in everything, I wouldn’t even buy a microwave meal that had 9 nanograms of cheap white wine in it. Their brie and grape sandwich has some sort of port jus so is a goner too.

Gosh can't believe how she is twisting the posts on here. I didn't see any mention her scars or anyone searching her address? She's clearly taking notes from the SH playbook.

All I have posted about is her lies, bullying behaviour, manipulating her followers into donating when she has a successful career (and earns through cookbooks, ads, affiliate links, columns, and now a new tv show).. and most of all how she has got herself a spot on t.v. through basically orchestrating a bullying campaign against JO/throwing herself a Twitter pity party.

I do not think it is out of order to be pissed off by all of these things and discuss them wherever I choose to.

But I thought she said she doesn't read these bitchy forums?
 
By the time she show comes on the air the only new problems with food are you have to queue outside or online to get it it. Shops are pretty much back to normal otherwise, the range is reduced so you might only be able to get one brand of tinned tomatoes but who really needed 14 different types of tinned tomatoes anyway? The big Tesco here had 1/3rd of an aisle full of just one type of pasta and one type of tinned tomatoes.

She went vegan but bought new, leather Dr Martens? She was never vegan. But saying she was plant based for a while puts her in the same camp as Deliciously Ella and that just won’t do.



Yes, spot on. Allergies and also anaphylaxis.

Updated list. I’m not mocking btw, merely collating things that Jack has said herself. I do believe some of these are true. I don’t believe all of them are true. Some might be partly true but massively exaggerated.
