In this episode of Kitchen Tales, Colline and Rona sit down for a Proper catch-up in the middle of a very busy season. With Christmas approaching, work piling up, and family life to juggle, the conversation quickly turns to the stress of running a small business and trying to keep on top of accounts.

Colline talks about the headache she’s had with her accounting software, sorting out her HMRC submissions before Christmas, and the pressure of trying to do everything herself. Rona shares how she and her husband handle their finances and admits she’s never fully sure if they’re doing everything perfectly either.

The episode is sponsored by VCK Accounting Services, whose lead accountant VImbai has written “The Numbers Behind the Business,” a clear, straightforward book designed to help business owners understand profit and loss, tax, and all the bits that usually feel confusing. Colline explains why it’s been so helpful and why more people should know about it.

To balance the stress with something lighter, the pair go through a fun set of questions — from their favourite takeaways, store-cupboard must-haves, and kitchen gadgets, to dream foodie holidays, hobbies, and whether they’d ever get a tattoo.
