We reach the end of the year, and we can't fail to make our usual yearly summary.
This 2020 has undoubtedly been a year marked by adaptation at many times and confusion at many others. In the shop we haven't stopped doing things, and I think if I look back what comes to mind most and what I want to highlight from this 2020 that has ended is:
- We have launched a Claudia&Julia textile rangewhich excites us especially, because it was a dream Jordi and I had for a long time come true.
- We have made a cookbook that is available in all the country's bookstores, a dream I never would have imagined could be true. It is called Cooking in a Pressure Cooker, published by Cupula.
- On social networks we haven't stopped growing, and we have reached the symbolic figure of 50,000 followers on Instagram and more than 8,000 on YouTube.
- On Facebook everything is dreams, especially our cooking group Cooking With Claudia&Julia, where we are already 12,000 members.
- Sergi has left us to discover new projects. We have no words to thank him for his know-how and dedication all this time with us (since the beginning of Claudia&Julia). Infinite thanks, Sergi!
- There are other new faces in the office who are learning at full speed and are a great support. Welcome Sandra, a second Jordi, Maria, Laura and Male!
- Ainoa remains as efficient as ever; Pere — who helps us understand some numbers, although it will never be our thing — has increased his dedication to the project; and we have the joy that Bea is pregnant.
- There must be a mention of Meritxell, who helps me on social networks and is incredibly patient to make up for my lack of time.
- We are growing a lot and turning the Cookexpertas project around, with Mónica Prego behind it (Thank you for your efforts too, Mónica!).
- We have added hundreds of new SKUs.
- Our thanks also to all our collaborators in the warehouse. It has been a really complicated year due to all the restrictions and obligations of the coronavirus, while the increase in SKUs and special weeks throughout the year have made management very difficult. But once again they have been committed to fulfilling all orders day by day and they couldn't have done better in all of it.
- The blog posts and the beautiful photos in the shop continue to be the work of our external collaborators, bloggers, photographers and culinary professionals who turn a written recipe into a wonderful dish we can't wait to make at home.
- It is the year in which we did the most VIP Weeks and FlashSales in the history of Claudia&Julia, bringing a bunch of very special offers from many brands. We couldn't be more grateful for the support we are receiving from all of them! We take this opportunity to thank Le Creuset, WMF, De Buyer, KitchenAid, Emile Henry and all the other brands in our catalog for the support they give us to make all our ideas and dreams come true.
