Dear Fay Thankyou very much for the proffessional service you offered to us on Christmas day. Everybody without exception commented on the beautiful food, in particular our Australian visitors who had never experienced the delights of sprouts or red cabbage before! Please pass on our thanks to your butler and assistant who were both helpful and charming. Dec 2008 Dear Fay
I just wanted to thank you very much for all your hard work yesterday and the beautiful food. It really looked fantastic and made a wonderful item. I’m sorry it all got a bit heated backstage!!
Thank you for everything, I shall pop the cheque in the post. Also, we have your trifle bowl and a punch bowl (is that yours?)

R***** M****** July 2008 Dear Fay,, Thank you so much for yesterday - the food was fantastic - it was a thoroughly successful day - enjoyed by all. Thank you for making life easy for me - everything cleared away. Thank Alex and Natalie for me. Kind regards, M*****t T*****g Dear Fay, Your presence on this mornings BBC News 24 seemed a God Send for the busy people who would love to use their gas hobs occasionally if only for the experiance of the heat in the kitchen . It was so refreshing to hear for the first time a professional chef talking straight about results of cooking. It is about the satisfying our sensualities of look, smell and taste and not about hours of chopping. Bless you for that. It was just a confirmation of my first impression of you being an interesting person when i read your website that you are a colourfull character and an interesting person. As if there was another need for the crowning of it all, there was your mac.com address which is only used by real people. Bless you for being real. I needed to share this lillte info-bubble you as those little unpredictable moments stimulated by coincidental people are the nuggets of happy moments of the internal smiles that makes our days enjoyable. Respect George October 2008
Hi Fay Thank you for a lovely meal on Saturday night.
I appreciate you didn't have the right resources to work with, but we and the guests had a lovely meal and particularly the beef and the canapes.
The chocolate cake as you said went down a storm!

Fay, Just a quick email to thank you for a wonderful meal on Saturday night. All our friends were so impressed, it really was a fabulous evening and the food was amazing. Our friend Barnaby (the one with the lactose intolerance) was wondering if it might be possible to get recipes, particularly for the chocolate cake and the gravy. He doesn't get to eat cake and was so chuffed that he could eat it that he's taken all the leftovers home with him! I enjoyed every dish so much that in all honestly I would like the recipes for all dishes, but am sure that is too cheeky! If you have time and don't mind perhaps you could forward the recipes? I look forward to hearing from you and thank you once again for a perfect evening. Kindest regards, Karen well thanks so much, you have skills that I do not possess! :) T Hi Fay, Just to let you know Margaret emailed me today and said that she had a Many thanks, Danielle
Hi Fay
Thank you again for the lovely meal – everyone really loved it, especially the starters and desserts! By the way, did you leave any electric cables behind at the Staines Sailing Club? They found some cables that they weren’t familiar with…
Thanks Pei

June 15th 2007 Dear Fay, Thankyou so much for your wonderful cooking and fine Stamina on Sunday. I really would not of believed it could rain any more than last year yet the weather somehow managed it. Everyone enjoyed the food you supplied. One day I can assure you that it will be sunny on that bank holiday weekend I am just not sure which year. The tent come marquee you were in blew over at 8.00pm so 10 rather inebriated men had to gather up poles and canvass and stuff it into bins. The evening did not finish until well into the early hours thanks again and we wish your family all the best Al** and M*ch***e
Dear Fay, Thank you so much for the delicious food on Friday. Everything, (thank god)! went according to plan. G**** loved it as per usual, and the guests raved about the food, thank you! Can't wait to do a bbq. Thank you again for everything. speak to you soon. love A******* xxx

Thanks so much for your email. They had a fantastic time and when we finally laid it out on the table they were delighted with it all. The feedback was that they had a fabulous day mainly due to yourself, so am very appreciative.
Will definitely use you again Fay as think it was a great idea. You are right in that we need to look at the kitchen aspect of it and I am having a meeting with Warwick today.
Thanks for your help in everything and will be in touch soon hopefully as we intend to push this as an onsite activity.

Sorry for the delay in sending this email but we went on holiday the day after Tom’s birthday. Anyhow, I just wanted to say a big thank you for doing Tom’s birthday meal and as you were probably aware it was a big hit with him and the other guests.
We will definitely be in touch if we need a Chef in the future!
Thanks again.

thank you for a really lovely meal Saturday night, everything was perfect, and having Alex to serve was an added bonus. Can I be cheeky and ask you for the recipe for the vegetable bake? it was gorgeous and we were all trying to work out what the mix was.

Your services were recommended to me by a filmmaker called Elizaberth Pinto, she spoke highly of your catering service. I am producing a WW2 Drama-Documentary, which includes organising catering for all cast and crew. Please could you read the following and if you are interested get back to me.

Thanks Fay - you should increase your fees. I know I've never eaten that well in a restaurant for those prices. Don't forget to invoice Jo at Woman. The feature is going out in July 5 issue of Woman - goes on sale June 29, however issues sometimes change, so I'll let you know if it does.

Building Centre London Tapas Buffet March 7th 2005 Hello Fay, many thanks again Best Wishes Kate Pointon Dear Fay, How can I thank you enough for making the party the great success which it was. Everyone loved the food & there was exactly the right amount as there was virtually nothing left by 4 am, except a couple of bits of wonderfully runny cheeses. I have always loved catering but for that kind of number I never get the quantities right & you did that, I guess it comes from experience. It was also beautifully presented which is the thing that first whets the taste buds. Although I don't eat seafood myself, the crab sandwiches just went 'whoosh'! Usually at buffets I delay eating & then when I do it's all gone but fortunately my family insisted I eat something to soak up the alcohol so that I could make my speech without slurring my words which I did. I loved the Swedish meatballs and the 3 bean salad. Your approach to catering is one I fully endorse, the Escoffier maxim 'only the finest ingredients'. I would like to take on the challenge of cooking a meal for you and your partner some time as I have a few tried & tested favourites which I'd like to try out on you and as my way of saying a treble thanks. very best wishes Peter Jackson ps a few people asked for your details and I gave out your card Hi It was great to put names to faces and I hope you realise I have an enormous amount of respect for all of you. Kerry • Ask Fay Olinsky, she's a fabulous chef Sebastian Andy Smith • At The Midsummer Party that launched A Woman's Place, some friends and I were successful in bidding for a dinner party that was generously donated by Fay Olinsky in aid of Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Fay is the host of the World of Food here in A Woman's Place and has catered for a few of our events in the past - cooking beyond wildest dreams! Dawn • Following my blog yesterday about the dinner party I was going to last night for my friends 40th birthday, I felt that the evening warranted an entire blog to sing the praises of A Woman's Place Personal Chef Extraordinaire, Fay Olinsky. Finally, can I invite all of those in A Woman's Place to comment here about what you might like to see Fay contributing in her World of Food? Warmest wishes |
It is a privilege to be connected with such an inspiration. Fay is wonderful, she rolls up her sleeves and gets on with whatever needs doing, she is open, she is a lady. Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 11:30 PM Fay, That was a tremendous meal you cooked for us. Thank you so very much. You added huge value to the day, I think everyone will remember it and will talk about it for a long time. With warm regards Founder and Director -Ecademy Limited A True Lady Fay produces fantastic food sometimes in extraordinarily difficult circumstances and is a great supporter of other peoples efforts. Thank you Fay for providing such delicious food at my corporate hospitality event. All of the guests were owners or senior directors of major hotel groups - a group well versed in catering! Since the event I have received many letters and emails from them with the highest praise for day and all comment on the high standard of food which you provided. (and you provided all this in not the easiest of conditions / locations!) Fay's food is to die for - and she's such a nice person! Fay is a consummate professional & leader in her field, she is also a great, straight talking networker who has built a very strong reputation in this place. Fay and her husband are consummate hosts, engaging company, the food is out of this world and I'm looking forward to being royally spoilt again at another function. If you need a personal chef, look no further! Fay makes the most incredible food! She is definitely THE BEST personal chef I know and I would recommend her services with the greatest confidence. She is also a wonderful hostess and lovely person. I'm so happy to know her! An inspiration to us all and puts many a person half her age to shame with her energy, wit and straight talking. An amazingly energetic and successful entrepreneur. Well worth meeting. I'm full of admiration for Fay. Her blogs are informative and incisive, she upholds her convictions with the resolute strength that is her hallmark and she's one of the warmest, most genuine people I have met through Ecademy, as well as being huge fun. I'm looking forward to sampling her food too and ordering my wedding cake from Fay one day! Fay is a great Networker If you want to blend culinary excellence with great character, call Fay and dine in style! A passionate, intelligent and delightful grande dame presence on Ecademy. I'm looking forward to meeting her. Fay, Fay Hi Fay Fay is a woman of substance , a very genuine human being , inspiring, caring , effective and a very unique person in my network. I believe it was Winston Churchill who once said (possibly quoting someone else): "Success is moving from failure to failure, with no loss of enthusiasm". Fay was delight to spend time with recently and is so very highly experienced. I am proud to have Fay in my network and look forward to getting to know her better. She wears her heart on her sleeve and is a lot of fun. I have just been privileged to spend a couple of day's in Fay's company and I've had the most amazing time. She is warm, funny and fascinating as well as having a razor sharp brain. I look forward to many more such encounters in the years to come. Having watched, listened and read Fay over the last 6 months, when I finally met here I was really surprised. I expected someone who was vocal and outspoken. I was wrong! She is a wonderful, warm caring individual who listens carefully and focuses on every word you say. I look forward to meeting her again, and I just know that she is one of those few women, that I just want to have as a close friend. Thank you! Fay is one of the most wonderful, fascinating woman I have ever met. I learned about her amazing life in an Interview for the Every Woman's Story feature. Fay Olinsky Having had the pleasure of sampling Fay's wonderful fare at the Woman's Place event on 29 January 2004, I can say that she is the most fantastic cook! I sampled as many different dishes as I could before getting too stuffed, and it was all wonderful - beautiful to look at, and delicious.
Just to let you know that Alex was excellent at the conference last week. Very thorough and professional. I would certainly use him again at one of our events. Best. Thanks for passing on the Impact Media job for me Fay. It all went well and hopefully there'll be some spin off business from it.
Best regards
