Philbys Fine Foods - About us

About Us and Testimonials

Phil Strasser’s tertiary qualifications and work experience are in food. He graduated from Ryde College of TAFE in Sydney with a Certificate in Catering as well as a Diploma in Hospitality Management.
He worked for 3 years in chef positions as well as supervisory and assistant management positions in Sydney and Toronto, Canada before setting up his own takeaway shop which he eventually converted into a salad bar in Martin Place. Since then, he operated a takeaway salad bar in North Sydney.
Phil is extremely passionate about food. He loves to cook and create food products for those who love good quality home cooked food. The dressings are a testament to his passion and he gains enormous satisfaction in knowing that people have either enjoyed his cooking or his bottled dressing.
“I had a very clear reason to bottle my own sauces and dressings. That is to lift an ordinary meal to an extraordinary level. Whether it to be to dress a salad, to marinate red or white meat for barbequing, or roasting chicken drumsticks, my aim is to give these meals a truly genuine restaurant quality edge”.

Testimonials

Dear Phil,
Tried to phone you to thank you for the delicious sauce/dressing. Absolutely super! Excellent flavour and completely desirable consistency. It would be fantastic in so many applications.....I might even try some shortly on its own on a buttered rice biscuit. My mouth is watering even at the thought of it. You certainly know how to combine elements to produce an ideal flavour. Watch out Paul Newman!
Jennie and Bev have tasted it and concur wholeheartedly.

Of course I would very much like to give a testimony of your product. We actually have used the Chilli version and it is yummy.

I have tasted and used the Moroccan Salad Dressing with Chilli and it is absolutely wonderful. It has a tangy flavour and is lovely on green salad. I have also used it in my couscous recipe and having the chilli flavour also gave this recipe a lovely taste, especially when I served it at our BBQ.

Hi there guys.
Just wanted to let you know that my son Russell and I are crazy about your salad dressings especially the "spicy" version.
We have tried all the commercial dressings available in the supermarkets but yours are really something special. We also like the fact that they are not loaded with preservatives.
Keep up the great work and please keep us on your mailing list for new products.
