I'm amazed the BBC haven't given Jack Monroe her own cookery show before, and in the right slot it could work.
However I think this daily show is absolutely the wrong slot for her. I find she has little in the way of charisma and her recipes have a very middle class interpretation of cooking on a budget. Things like carrot cake rice pudding and brie and bacon risotto. There's also no escaping how politically charged she is.
I have a feeling this will be handing viewers to This Morning on a plate. But we'll see what they do with it.

You do realise that the recipes actually come from her own experience of having to live on a tiny budget? You need to direct that criticism towards Jamie Oliver...
Shorter I assume (two properties instead of three?) as otherwise there'd only a 15 minute gap between Hammer and Bargain Hunt.
Schedule currently shows Daily Kitchen 10-10:45 then homes under the hammer 10:45-11:45 which leaves the typical 11:45-12:15 slot free for something else (night force for the first week).

I would have thought I'd said enough to show that I am aware of who Jack Monroe is. That doesn't mean her ideas aren't incredibly middle class.
Agree with what you’re saying. Her entire audience is people on Twitter who work in London pretending they’re poor, I don’t see that having mass appeal.

Contrary to that tweet, which says Daily Kitchen is on until 11. You'd think the host would know how long his show is!
