I believe the answer is:

curator

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'administrator' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a bit of fun in cooking a carrot' is the wordplay.
'a bit of fun' becomes 'u' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cooking' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked up into a new form).
'carrot' with letters rearranged gives 'crator'.
'u' placed within 'crator' is 'CURATOR'.

'finding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for curator that I've seen before include "Custodian of a collection" , "Cultural employee" , "Museum officer" , "Keeper of a collection" , "Museum official" .)
