And I see thrifty Lesley is another old styler! I remember her on Weezl's thread too as she lives near me and recommended some local places to get bargains. All things lead back to this board!

Sorry to take the thread on a tangent...

Just home had a quick look through and I'm happy with it. Looks like lots of new recipes with some blog favourites. I will definitely be cooking some of the recipes soon. The `not meatballs` recipe first I think!

I too received mine today, and just going through it now.well worth the outlay and I shall be trying them out over the coming months.

I like the look of it too. Interesting recipes and no fancy ingredients. I hate recipes where you have to buy loads of different things that just end up gathering dust in the cupboard after you've used one tablespoon for the recipe.

It was £6.50 at my local S's today, although I'll give it a miss for now because I've just bought a couple of books (and I'm more into baking right now).
I love her, I think she's great, hope she continues to do well :T

I love Jack's blog, have been following it from the start, and am a huge fan of hers. My book was delivered today and I'm about to go off to bed and have a browse through it. I find Jack very charismatic and would love to see her present a thrifty cookery tv show. I'm appalled at the negative comments she is bombarded with on her blog and in the press, it seems sometimes that anyone who tries to make a success of their life is easy prey for the haters. Rant over!
