The benefits?

  • High performance,
  • Better bottom line, and
  • Happy, settled staff when you create the best team.

Our content is easy, inspiring, and dramatically makes a difference.  We talk to the best in the business, and distill their wisdom.

Just the Sizzle is an industry 'bible' where we interview who's who in the zoo, the big and small players, all of whom have years of experience and wisdom to share. Join us and get the best and most innovative solutions to the myriad of problems in the business. 

You'll never need another resource. And if you have something to share, tell us! We're always happy to interview and share your secret sauce.

Christine’s brilliant memoir Theatre of War is available now!

A rollicking trip through 9 restaurants and the Chefs, thieves and rogues she duelled with daily… Buckle up, it’s a rough ride. “Laugh out loud! A terrific read!” 

WHY OFF THE HOTPLATE? 

"I had 10 successful restaurants as owner/chef and 25 years in blasting hot kitchens. Burn out became a boomerang and I fell out of love with cooking, and the industry. 

Then I started seeing the suicide rate, the burn out rate, the collateral damage of high pressure on families and society as a whole and decided we needed a solution. Mental health and emotional intelligence need more than just talk lines or questions with no answers. People need real solutions - teaching people those emotional management skills that are tragically missing in everyone's education. 

Just the Sizzle was born, and I was reborn with a drive to bring this to an industry and people who deserve better. And working in other industries since, I saw they could all benefit from this. After all, it's about people. Simple." ~ Christine Matheson Green - for more on Christine on Linked In click here:

Chef talk: After Lûmé, Shaun Quade lights up L.A.

It takes guts and faith to launch a new venture in a foreign country, a new market. Shaun Quade, his name now intimately tied to Lûmé, a leader in the Australian restaurant firmament, has both, in spades. When a lot of chefs would be settling in for an easier long haul, established and ticking along,…

Chef talk: Graeham Henderson – pirate chefs need to rethink

Graeham Henderson is smack bang in the middle of a big career. So in his interview, we looked both backwards and forwards. It’s an exciting time for him with big challenges, but if anyone is up to it, it’s Graeham. And he absolutely nails the issues the industry is facing, and the why. Beautifully. So…
