I thought she was a bit stingy with the garnishes.
JB thought she was a bit slow.
Maybe theyll speed her up in the edits.
But SO MUCH FUN!
We all think Joh Griggs should run for PM.
Smart as a whip.
Speaking of my home
It started out as a little kitchen renovation.
Its evolved into a head-to-toe heritage house restoration.
So I didnt do enough research.
Our chef JB made one of his signature dishes for Joh!
I was prepared to do a fair amount of works to fix it.
I brought this on myself.
My motley crew Team RecipeTin
Exciting news on the team front!

Chef JB is back at HQ!
Though often pulled into special RTE projects, hes now back full-time!
It also opens up the opportunities for us to do fun things like pop ups and live cooking shows.
So glad hes back and excited for the year ahead!
New kitchen hand at RTM!
And in related exciting news, we have a new member at team RTM meet Harry!
Harry just started with us yesterday, replacing JB at RTM.
He was also rather surprised that we welcomed him with cake and a balloon on his first day.
Apparently that doesnt happen in normal kitchen jobs.
Trenches for new stormwater drains filled with water after a weekend of heavy rains, proof that water doesn’t sink into the soil in my yard.
MEET DENELLE, MY NEW ASSISTANT!
I have a right hand woman!
The search for Denelle was certainly an experience.
Everybody wants to work with Dozer!
Which brings me to my next point:
A big thank you to everyone who applied!
To everyone who took the time to apply, thank you so very much.
Left to right, at RTM: Herron (video editor), Denelle (my new assistant!), Stephen (RTM head chef), me, JB (red top, jumping), Harry (new RTM!), Goh (IT manager), Hannah (RTM chef), Dan (RTM!)
If I could have hired more of you, I absolutely would have!
RecipeTin Meals News
There is always happenings atRTM!
It happened in the middle of the day when the team was right in the middle of the cook.
Thanks to the quick thinking of the team, we lost very little stock to water damage.
We increased our meals to 600!
This equates to 156,000 meals per year thats a lot of hungry tummies filled!
We havent hit the ceiling yet.
There is more to come, more food support we can offer!
My book released in the Netherlands!
Any Dutch readers around?Get it here!
But I had a little mix-up when announcing it Im in the Netherlands!
I posted on Facebook, only to have people eagerly ask where Id be signing books.
Had to quickly clarify its my book thats there, not me!
The book explores closing the gender pay gap and is a valuable resource about maximising earnings potential.
The discussions covered my corporate career as well as the journey of building RecipeTin.
Honestly, my mentors in the corporate world and the business people I admired the most were all men.
PS: I couldnt fit a single cupcake in that itty-bitty bag.
Hence my love for giant bags!
Youre caught up!
my friends, (mostly) catches you up on the happenings of the last 2 months.
That might be a little ambitious, but one must have goals!
Heres to a great remainder of 2025 filled with delicious new recipes!
