'Alice Zaslavsky is a force of nature!' Nigella Lawson 'The Stephanie Alexander for the future. The kind of book everyone needs on their shelf.' Max Brearley, delicious 'This is the most beautiful book I own.' Emelia Jackson, MasterChef All Stars winner 'The book is a marvel, and dare I say, an instant classic.' Dan Stock, Herald Sun 'A weekly regular on TV, Radio and in Print Alice Zaslavsky is an intelligent, fresh young voice in Australian food.' Matt Preston: Host/Mentor/Judge/MasterChef (Network 10), Plate of Origin (Channel Seven) and others 'Alice is probably the nicest grownup I've ever met.' Tess, Age 9 'You're as mad as a cut snake.' Marlene, Age 80: ABC News Breakfast viewer 'Alice was MC for the Estrella Damm Gastronomy Congress held in Melbourne during the World's 50 Best Restaurant awards. Alice was outstanding as MC, especially to be able to hold a crowd and keep them entertained and interested for five hours straight.' 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. Her genuine enthusiasm flows through every aspect of her approach to projects, bringing a contagious positive energy to the creative process. Alice's imagination and integrity is a winning combination, and I'm always excited to see what her next project will be.' Daniel Coghla: Digital Manager, Melbourne Theatre Company 'Sans microphone and without notes, Alice held two hundred and fifty children in the palm of her hand. We understand that success comes from treating ourselves well, however; we were reminded by Alice Zaslavsky today that if we want to be winners in life it's also about how we treat others along the way.' 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
