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.

WOW .... I recently asked Fay if she would point me in the right direction on her website for a small gathering I am having. Within a very short space of time Fay had not only taken the time to reply and advise freely, but sent me a whole meal plan including the recipe and fool proof instructions. What an asset to Ecademy to have such a talented, friendly and approachable member. I hope to be able to meet with Fay in the near future.

Subject: Thank you so much Fay
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.
Thomas’ idea of Power Lunches with Thomas and I, are a good one, we should progress this thought in the new year.
I am so pleased to have experienced your service at this level, in my own home, it is so personal, I now know exactly how to recommend you and hope to be able to treat friends with your food in the future too.
With warm regards

Fay the pleasure you create through your personality and your cuisine are both of the highest order. Your thoughtful, honest and intelligent postings are on Ecademy for all to read and recognise a very special person.
Thank you Fay I look forward to working with you more.
Warm Regards

Fay produces fantastic food sometimes in extraordinarily difficult circumstances and is a great supporter of other peoples efforts.
Martin Shepherdly [ 4-Aug-05 ]
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!)
Without your help, and the help of Alex the butler, the day would not have been such a success. My sincerest thanks to you. I look forward with earnest to the next event when I can experience your great talent again.
Thank you.

Fay's food is to die for - and she's such a nice person!
Simon West [ 28-Jun-05 ]
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.
Paul Sherman[ 12-May-05 ]
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!
Emma James [ 10-May-05 ]
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!
Mindy Gibbins-Klein (The Book Midwife) [10-May-05 ]
An inspiration to us all and puts many a person half her age to shame with her energy, wit and straight talking.
Roger Vanstone[ 10-May-05 ]
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!
Emma James[ 10-Apr-05]
Fay is a great Networker
I cannot wait to try some of Fay's dishes
I remember the picture of some of Fay's cakes there were fabulous
Great to have you here on Ecademy, I am hoping to pick up some fantastic culinary skills
Nina "Software" Bevan [ 31-Mar-05 ]
If you want to blend culinary excellence with great character, call Fay and dine in style!
Heather-Jane Sears [ 6-Mar-05 ]
A passionate, intelligent and delightful grande dame presence on Ecademy. I'm looking forward to meeting her.
A google search on Fay's name revealed no book by her yet. So I hope that some time Fay will find the time to record some of her rich life and pertinent insights into a more durable form than her postings.
Merci Fay
Stuart Harris [ 1-Mar-05 ]
Fay,
I really enjoyed lunch on Tuesday, at Andrew Wilcox's MindManger for Ecademists Day. Everything was just perfect - particularly good risotto, and great service. The other group at the Regus Centre who were having sandwiches for their meeting looked suitably envious.
Many thanks, Ian...

After eating your blogs for months, I finally get to eat your lunches on two consecutive days. They were one of the highlights of both days. When can I do it again?
Andrew Wilcox

Hi Fay
Having had the privilege of experiencing your cuisine twice in the past two days, I now know what people mean when they praise your culinary skills. However, I've not really had the chance to talk to you yet - so I look forward to an early one-to-one.
Thanks and best wishes

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".
In a rich and varied life, Fay has had more than her fair share of challenging circumstances, but seems to have navigated them with an extraordinary commitment to learn the lessons and keep moving on. This is a rare thing and should be much prized, in a world where so many people have one minor setback and then give the whole thing up as a bad job. It's hard to imagine Fay ever seeing things that way.....
It's a pleasure and a privilege to have Fay in my network, and I very much look forward to working with her in the near future.
Patrick Moore [ 13-Jan-05 ]
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.
If you haven't yet made Fay's acquaintance, you are in for a treat.

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.
Her culinary skills are second to none and always always ALWAYS exceed expectation Here's what I had to say about her catering for one of our events: "Yes I Was! When I wasn't stuffing myself full of Fay's deeeelicious food (God, the sausage and mash was soo wonderful it was positively evil), and chocolate cakes and toffee pudding (Jeff, the only male who was there helping me to set up the wireless network, had a mini main and a main dessert, diving into the cakes and pudding like no tomorrow!)"
I have no hesitation in recommending Fay's services professionally or even as a friend, as she is truly a woman of substance.
Warmest wishes

Fay Olinsky
Is one of the most fantastic people I have actually met on Ecademy.
Always has a smile on her face, even when faced with difficult situations.
A great realist that speaks from her heart, and always with great enthusiasm.
Fay is a FANTASTIC chef and a professional in every sense. I doubt there is anything she couldnt do, if she wanted to!
Gary Stapleton [ 1-Dec-04 ]
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.
Wonderful stuff, Fayy!
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.
Please pass on my thanks to Alex.
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.
