Thing is spices are so fundamental. Even in the days we were throwing our piss out of windows people would of been using fennel, salt, wild garlic. Things like dandelion.
You can also get them so cheap. Go to a grocer set up for say Indians, or Eastern asian consumers. You get get them for pennies. I have one beside me which you take in your own tubs and it's by grams.

I bought my husband a medieval cookbook when we were first dating as he really likes cooking and is interested in game type foods. There is such an abundance of spices and herbs throughout the recipes. I was actually quite shocked as I didn't realise they used so much.

She's so monotone when speaking to people and reading the autocue that she sounds like a robot. She's much better when cooking but then turns her back on the camera and chats to matt.

It doesn't inspire warmth and yet 'that man!' stole her job?

Yeah. Course.

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

Being a ‘food bank user’ she sure gets access to a tonne of ingredients I’ve never seen in my entire time of volunteering.

 

[ScorpioMoon]

Jack you shouldn't even be on the same planet as Mary,jesus wept

That's killed me

 

[Begborrowsteal]

Oh jesus. I lasted less than 10 seconds. Dead silence... "crack on" ... dead silence.. '"crack on". Cringe.

I thought it was slightly getting better but it's still naff recipes, its still very clunky. I am fed up of the giggling, the manic cooking where its so rushed and nobody knows what's going on. I'm fed up of the many faces and gurning. Its just boring. Everyone else - like Olia today- just seems so natural and warm. Mat doesn't make it seem scripted, thats the point- it's meant to appear natural to us

 

[Hunty]

Oh man I'm late I'm late , I've had the show on in the background for the last 10 minutes while I caught up on the last thread, I've been listening to her but not watching her and even just listening to her is awkward, noticing a bit more explanation during her cake demo though so that is better


LOVE THE TITLE NOW HAVE 6 PAGES TO CATCH UP ON, I'LL SEE YOU ON YHR OTHER SIDE LOL

 

[HowardMoon]

Not a fan of her makeup today, she suits no makeup make up however she's much better and less frantic sitting down

Yeah red lipstick doesn’t look great when you have red gums

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

A couple of years ago Jack you were scamming people on Kickstarter.

Stop lying about getting an email about this random man. It’s totally bullshit. Of course it had to have the most extreme ending. Either he committed suicide through failure or married and lives happily ever after.

 

[LennyBriscoe]

I’m calling bullshit on the mango tray bake story! When she said the man wanted to make it to impress a woman, Matt was like “really??” couldn’t even hide it Matt

 

[Bellybutton lint]

My cats have better knife skills than her.

 

[Flumps]

Oh jesus. I lasted less than 10 seconds. Dead silence... "crack on" ... dead silence.. '"crack on". Cringe.

While I get anxious about things like this awkwardness normally, I have to say that one properly cracked me up. Maybe it's all sent me a bit hysterical.

 

[Rosap]

I've given up. I'm off to watch masterchef Australia where everyday people actually can cook and are more natural on TV than this yolk

They'll probably use posh food like fresh vegetables and Lemons and flowers so Jack would hate it

 

[Silver Linings]

That’s not mixed!

 

[Ellabella]

holds a spoon like a weirdo....

Oh god, I thought I'd be the only one to notice that

 

[chocolate choux]

What was that part about the tray bake making people fall in love with you? “I’ve made it for 60 people and here I am!”

Jack, you’re there because you’re a self obsessed bully

 

[poppycat]

That cake bake tray whatever looks awful!

 

[Curlygirld]

Why are they talking over themselves!!
Also this definitely shows it’s matt’s show because he has to guide the whole thing!

that traybake looks so boring!!

I really cant hack the second hand embarassment!

 

[Silver Linings]

It looks like a paving stone.
