Sarah Wilson: Brand Manager, Asahi Premium Beverages 'Alice is one in a million. As host of high profile culinary events and panels, her ability to get under the skin of a topic and conversation with her in-depth industry knowledge and research to unearth nuggets of gold, to pull you in, to re-assure and guide talent, to read an audience is second to none. A quick thinker, sassy and polished, Alice has a unique, warm and personable on-stage delivery that is impeccable.' Katrina King: Event Director, Gourmet Escape 'Alice is a total joy to work with.

Sue Fish: Teacher - Librarian, Coorparoo State School 'Not only is Alice so genuinely passionate about food, but her ability to engage people young and old is nothing short of remarkable. Our audiences just love her. Her infectious personality and creativity is plain to see, but what makes Alice unique to us is an ability to understand our objectives and translate the business speak into meaningful and engaging communications. That's what makes us want to work with her again and again!' Amanda Menegazzo: Food Comms Manager, Dairy Australia
