Also, I desperately need an assistant.Now accepting applicationshere!
It is because I love what I do so deeply that I work so hard at it.
These days, I have a team of 9. that we donate every day to the vulnerable.
Team RecipeTin, my motley crew!
Ive writtentwo cookbooks, both of which I partly blame for this new world in which we now operate.
Honestly, who knew books could do that??!
Behind the scenes, I have the responsibilities that come with having your own business.
And lastly, lets add to that, creating the recipes that I share on this website.
I share this not to complain or boast about workload.
While 2024 was a year of incredible highs, I ended it in a bad state of sheer exhaustion.
I spent the entire 10 days of the Christmas break recovering, sleeping 12 to 15 hours every day.
Unheard of for me 6 hours is my norm, 8 hours would be a dream!
But spiralling again, I am.
This time, though, Im going to do something about it and make positive changes!
I need help!
And I am drowning.
I need to rebuild my team.
And so today, Im writing this post as a means of holding myself accountable (to myself!)
Take a break from publishing new recipes for [two to three] weeks.
), rather publicly as I jokingly shared fails and successes on social media.
Did I mis-measure something?
Is the oven temperature off?
Did I put the wrong timer on?
I need to tell everyone were moving, and I better get than air con fixed, asap!
And that was the moment I realised I need to stop.
And use my time tofind an assistant!
I will be back!
Next week is already full with an exciting TV filming day (more soon!)
Sharing it on my website is one of many little things that have slipped my mind.
My new assistant is the first important step to initiate change around here.
I do not take recruitment lightly.
I am very protective of my team, and the culture Ive worked so hard to create and maintain.
Because this business is unique, my team is unique, I am unique!
We find we dont fit in moulds and thats ok, we like being different.
If you made it this far, thank you for listening to my ramblings.
I will be back!
Including that darn choc chip cookie recipe.It will not defeat me!
Im not cool enough forTikTokbut Im frequently putting real-life snippets onInstagramandFacebook.
Dozer and I thank you for your support.
Team RecipeTin, my motley crew!
