I think some of you with the Twitters may want to RT this:



Tweet by Jack Monroe: "RT if you would watch a TV cookery show where the presenter/chef is disabled, talks openly about it, and mental health, uses chopped/frozen/tinned ingredients, and cooks simple affordable accessible recipes. Because TV commissioners listen to numbers, and this is what I do."

ALSO the potential presenter/chef here is a national treasure and is neurodiverse and non-binary (this does not make you a better cook but, you know, representation) and has been banned from Good Morning Britain for life by Piers Morgan for calling him a "fucking snowflake" (this does not make you a better cook but it makes you a legend).

WHAT MORE CAN YOU WANT. THIS MUST HAPPEN.

Response has been such that planning and fundraising for a pilot is now afoot, and there's now a "Hello new followers!" thread for people arriving on the back of that Tweet, giving context and links to Monroe's website and books: https://twitter.com/BootstrapCook/status/1030113745446555648

I'm pimping this out to my RL friends, most of whom are poor. Thanks! :)

Do tell them to make sure to check out Monroe's website Cooking on a Bootstrap -- circa 600 recipes on there, and it's how they first became famous.
