Alice Han

Meet Alice Han, the 29-year-old economic researcher from New South Wales, who is ready to spice things up this season. Growing up in Sydney, Alice’s love for food was influenced by the mix of her parents’ emigration from Shanghai, China, and the East meets West language, culture, and cuisine.

But don’t be fooled by her academic background as Alice’s passion for cooking is fueled by the balance of the cerebral and the creative. With a keen eye for detail, Alice loves to explore traditional dishes and add her modern, fusion flair.

From Chinese to French and Italian cuisine, Alice’s skills span both sweet and savoury dishes.
