Looking good!
Jack, you are the best. My son just visited me in the US over the holidays (he and his wife live in the UK) and they love your blog and twitter acct. They are staunch supporters of Labor and both are in academia. Conservative hyperbole is pervasive, but your your message is meaningful.
good on you Jack, nice and simple but tasty which is what people want.
Awesome!! Well done Jack x
Nice one Jack 😀 xx
Well done Jack and no less than you deserve xx
Yay! I missed it when it was on yesterday. I came back into the room and DP said, oh that Jack woman has just been on! So, Jack woman, well done x
Oh, Jack, it’s lovely! Good job!
The folk who are complaining at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16365230 about how difficult it is to cook cheap and nutritious meals need to look on here!
Excellent, Jack…and they kept the tatoos! Who directed the commercial…was it either Gus Filgate or Georgia Glyn-Smith. Nice to see a sensible TV food commercial.
Ed St Giles. Absolute pleasure to work with him, I’ve made no secret of the fact I despise filming but I enjoyed the day immensely.
Please, Jack, take care what you say. You may “despise filming” but it is unwise in the extreme to bite the hand that feeds you.
misspelt tattoos, sorry:)
Tattoos and all! Good to see not all supermarkets investing heavily in Photoshop 😉
Is that your kitchen Jack? Those tiles are super colourful and cute! And good for you too, it’s great that you’re able to make a few bob doing something helpful to others and which you enjoy 🙂
No sadly those super cute tiles aren’t mine!
Looking forward to the recipe. Been following you for a while and wishing you well. Hope you’re getting some expert media advice. You shouldn’t IMHO try to be like Jamie (although I like him and think he is excellent on tv). You are you and you should highlight your uniqueness not try to assimilate into just another tv chef. I’m finding all this nonsense about your loss of authenticity (ie by having changed things for yourself) in the press tiresome as I’m sure you are too. Keep doing what you’re doing you have a very appreciative and loyal following in me and my small person, even though thankfully we haven’t had to live on the tiny budget you have to recognise something (you) of value. Hope this makes a semblance of sense.
Just been made redundant/unemployed for the first time in my 40yr work history. I shall be buying your book as an investment in my culinary survival. Great to see real people in adverts. More power to you.
erm…. library? While I applaud Jack for getting published (I know how difficult it is), your money now has to be watched like the proverbial hawk. Look after the pennies (as Jack has indeed taught us) and the pounds will look after themselves. Your local library will either have a copy or be able to get it for you for a nominal sum (make sure you take something that proves you are unemployed as most boroughs offer a discount on the few library services that you have to pay for such as reserving books). And, of course, you will be doing your bit to keep the library open and running for other people to use!
I loved it Jack well done, your a natural , your son is going to be so proud of you. What a great person you are, and all the best for the New year.
Hadn’t realised I’d seen those ads until I followed your link!
Thanks Jack! Don’t have TV so hadn’t seen the adverts yet… I think it’s great!
Sweet, spicy, everything you could want in a woman really…
Mate, your tatts look awesome. I realise that is not the point, but, as a tatt wearer myself, we don’t see enough of them! PS good work on the food thing 🙂
Haven’t seen that ad because I haven’t got a tv, but well done you!
Loved this, well done, just fab!
San xx
Oooh, I thought you might look a little awkward, due to what you’ve said previously, but you look totally natural & relaxed (and gorgeous!) Very nice ad – well done.
Looking great Jack, congratulations!
Yeah very casual like as if youve done this all before and great first shot with tatt was a nice surprise I was like bloody hell cool lol
Reblogged this on Lucy Jo Amos.
So, so, so pleased for you. Happy New Year!
Looks fantastic, so amazing following your progress. Good luck in 2014!
It’s not really about the ad but it got me thinking I would like you to know that your story is inspirational to people who are struggling to pay the bills and feed themselves, or those in fear of it. When you’re unemployed or just plain underpaid it is difficult to feel positive about anything. But telling your story has shown that people living in poverty can still feel passionate about food… and life. To think that only a short time ago you were at rock bottom and you fought back. Look at what you’ve achieved and how far you’ve come. It is not an understatement to say that you are an inspiration.
Fantastic advert, fantastic recipe,
Can’t wait for the book! X
I’ve worked for Sainsburys for over a decade now & rarely buy anything that isn’t in classy orange & white packaging. I like to think of my self as a fellow basics advocate & I wondered how long it would take for them to get you on board. Glad to see things are looking up for you, keep it up!
