Waitrose and Pippa Middleton

Ignazio · 26/02/13 - 20:36

Will anyone be taking advice from Pippa when she starts her new careet as a food writer for Waitrose covering 'casual dining ideas and recipes' enabling one to entertain in relaxed and stylish fashion.:rolleyes:

gemma-the-husky · 26/02/13 - 20:41

it will be wonderful

can't hardly wait.

Teddybleads · 26/02/13 - 20:41

No but I'd buy a book on self-defense by Kate. I've always thought she looks a bit handy.

Besides, I don't think it's the host job to be calm and relaxed when entertaining. It's your job to run around like a blue-arsed fly, smile through gritted teeth and wretchedly search for cocktail sticks.

The Waitrose clientele deserve her.

....perhaps he's just a big fan of both?

Neither actually.

Excuse me I'm a Waitrose fan and am a tad annoyed that they have given this woman print space :mad:

Oh but it's not about the food, dahling. It's all about 'stylish' entertainment!

Given that half of the UK population are likely to be obese by 2030 then perhaps PM is just the sort of person that should be given some level of prominence as a food writer?

Huge difference with being obese and looking like you enjoy what you are talking about.

Teddybleads · 28/02/13 - 20:03

Thin people can be just as enthusiastic and evangelical about food as any other size of person, I wouldn't say that was a hindrance.

I would like to know exactly what her culinary credentials are though. did she study at the Le Cordon Bleu or something?

There are plenty of slim, healthy-looking chefs though. Michel Roux Jr, Jason Atherton, Marcus Wareing, Gennaro Contaldo, Valentine Warner, Locatelli - that's just off the top of my head.

But your reference was to her body shape not her demeanour.

apparently, you don't have to drink coffee out of the saucer.

I have a tendancy to distrust them too,

I wasn't talking anout her demeanor there either

She doesn't look like someone who cooks or enjoys her food. She doesn't need to be obese just happy to muck in and eat. (yes muck in I guess is demeanor).

Nothing against the girl she is probably delightful just doesn't inspire me to confidence in her abilities to fill the shoes she is taking over.

Compared to Waitrose the quality of the other supermarkets food really sucks. Only M & S is comparable on quality. Love Waitrose!

I love it too, though I don't shop there exclusively because the nearest one to us is not all that near. A lot of people think that it is more expensive than other supermarkets, but that's actually not the case at all. Our weekly shop at Waitrose comes out at around the same as our weekly shop at Sainsbury's, and the quality is better. Their basics range is very good indeed.

Good quality at reasonable prices. What's not to like?

Joanne yy · 01/03/13 - 22:15

I shop exclusively at Waitrose - I am
willing to give Pippa a chance

Why not

*Topaz* · 02/03/13 - 15:50

Trouble in paradise? In DM it says that many customers are not very happy that Waitrose have employed Pippa.

Queenie is pissed off.

'Her Majesty the Queen' is dismayed at the latest job news from the Middleton side of the family.

Her repertoire is said to include:

1. How to put a party hat on without ruining one’s hair

2. Warming marshmallows on a caravan gas fire

3. 101 things one can do with a tube of Pringles

4. Spam: the hidden gem in your cupboard

5. Meals to catch a second-in-line to the throne (still working on that one)

This is what happens when you let your son marry riff-raff.

Waitrose customers don't read the Daily Mail. :cool:

Personally, I'd be as likely to take Pippa Middleton's advice on cookery as I would Genghis Kahn's advice on running a children's creche. But then again, who knew one could get so far on the basis of one's derriere?

Hey there!
