Are You a Business Masterchef? | BTalk Australia
(MoneyWatch) 
(Episode 362; 13 minutes 38) Do good cooks make good business people? That might be a big call, but perhaps there's some commonality in the learning curve of trying to master each of them.
Julia Bickerstaff from The Business Bakery says people often go into business without understanding the science that lies behind it. Baking, she says, is the same. It needs some mathematical respect. Too much of one ingredient can kill the taste just as it can destroy a business.
Do you want to add to the analogy? What else do chefs and business people have in common? Add your thoughts in the Talkback section at the end of this post.
