For all my readers out there wondering what has happened to Tastingtales, it is with sad news to say that I find it hard to find the motivation to log into my blog following the death of my dad. Everything about food, cooking and eating doesn’t feel the same and everything about Tastingtales reminds me of him and it pains me to feel emptiness when attempting to get back into the kitchen or brain storm future blog posts. Tastingtales is about family, memories and the food that binds us together. It is with a heavy heart to admit to everyone that i have loss my sense of purpose. For the last year, I have finally managed to log back into my blog and update you with my decision to post this message to let everyone know of my hiatus and have chosen to take time away to focus on myself, my wellbeing, mental state and continue to understand the stages of grief until I find the strength to pursue my love for cooking once more. I hope that in time i am able to get my spark back and fall back in love with food and Tastingtales. I promise to be back on here soon to share my knowledge and stories.

All my love, and happy cooking, Kelsey x
