Felicity Cloake - refreshing or pretentious?

Her prose just comes across as a pretentious load of crap rather contrived.

I have only just heard of her today and thought she was someone new and trying too hard.

I have used recipes by Tamasin Day-Lewis and her food descriptions are not plain and simple either but come across as natural, delightful and eloquent.

Good heavens!
I've never thought of her like that at all! I love her Guardian column and use it a lot (in that photo she wears an apron)

"The perfect......." was a light-hearted way of saying "let's try different recipes for the same things and see what work best". She's always clear about what is her taste and gives really helpful guidance.

Horses for courses.

She just makes me want to

What's perfect for her eyes and taste buds wouldn't necessarily be perfect for anyone else.

Just popping to tesco in my lace dress and stilettos to buy some readymade food for a picnic.
Perfick!

And I'm sure we all cook in Fushia lace with maching shoes!! Well I do.

Perfect Post !!

IMO!!

Laugh!

Re-read my 2nd post 'it put me off claiming to be perfect'

What I meant to say was that it put me off her recipes and her as well because of the fact that she claims that they are perfect recipes.

Not that it puts me off claiming to be perfect. Which I know I am anyway. And my recipes are always perfect and perfectly cooked.
Got to go, was that the smoke alarm?

She usually writes for the Guardian, but there was an artice in the DM this week:

Felicity Cloake

ER, NON !!!!!!!!!!!

Nonu it sounds as if it was in the Guardian or Telegraph?

It put me off claiming to be 'Perfect'. What self-assurance!

Yes I have just read that ROSE she certainly waxes lyrical !!!!!

Doesn"t tickle my tastebuds though!!!!

Won"t mention the publication it was in !!!!
