Time Management in the Kitchen with Christine Pittman
Meal planning/meal prep /cooking is not my favorite. It is also not my zone of genius. However, Christine Pittman IS the expert in this space, and in this episode, she is going to share some practical tips and strategies to help us save time in the kitchen! Christine is the founder of COOKtheSTORY where her passion is to create recipes that take less time in the kitchen, giving you more time at the table. Christine’s love for cooking started early, watching and listening to her mother and grandmother in the kitchen, and working in her parents’ restaurants starting at age 12. But before launching her lucrative food blog and business, Christine was doing something entirely different -- Ten years ago, Christine was on maternity leave from a Ph.D. program when her family relocated from Canada to Orlando. In a new country, armed with a master’s degree in Linguistics and a new baby, Christine struggled to find a job opportunity that matched her skill set. While she figured out what to do with her life, she started a food blog. It was an exciting hobby and kept her connected with friends and family back home. Since then, what originally started as a hobby has turned into one of the top-ranked food blogs in the world, with more than 2 MILLION monthly readers. The journey from hobbyist to full-fledged lucrative business had many twists and turns, and a lot of learning curves. But now, Christine has figured it out and has great tips and strategies to help other online businesses grow. ________________________________💻 Free TrainingOverwhelmed? Frazzled?
