All the tasty treats

Well, QVC UK celebrated another milestone this month reaching the ripe old age of 26!

Having joined the team as a presenter just three months after the launch date, I feel like QVC and I have kind of grown up together. After all, I began as a single young girl fresh from the West End stage looking forward to a new challenge, and here I am a wife and a mother with a nineteen year old at university!

They say time flies when you’re having fun, and it just couldn’t be more apt. QVC has gone from strength to strength and I feel we are truly so much more than just a place to shop.

I think we have become a fantastic shopping destination that leaves no stone unturned, offering incredible information and expert advice so that we can all make great buying decisions and enjoy our shopping experience, and you guys at home are so very much part of our team and I’d like to thank you for joining in with all our adventures over the last 26 years.

Of course QVC’s buying power and our ability to offer incredible brands at unbeatable prices helps too, coupled with an outstanding money back guarantee and the best customer service in the business, why would you need to shop anywhere else?

Well you may need to venture out to the local supermarket for your weekly shop, but have you seen the array of gorgeous food and drink items QVC has on its menu?

We have everything from smoked mackerel and salmon to designer meringues and brownies, and every year we seem to add more tempting tastes with over 220 food items currently available online – and wait til you try our mouthwatering pies!

Some of my current favourites are The Marshmallowist designer marshmallows, you just have to try the Raspberry and Champagne ones – they are insane!

The Flower & White Meringue Truffles are also delicious and make great gifts as you get two boxes.

I have to give The Real Pie Company a special mention. If you ‘love a pie’ definitely give The Real Pie Company a try, a good place to start would be the six-piece pie collection, with an option of either Chicken or Steak varieties, they just melt in your mouth. Plus, The Real Pie Company also offer vegetarian options, amazing pasties and sausage rolls that are to die for!

Talking of all this sumptuous food brings me to the subject of Christmas and the perfect festive feast. Once again QVC really lends a helping hand, as we have your Christmas dinner all organised for you keeping your Christmas cooking as simple as possible.

This year we have teamed up again with Althams Butchers bringing you nothing but the best for your family and friends this Christmas. With over 150 years of heritage Althams are one of the oldest and largest independent butchers in the country and a family company that spans five generations.

They pride themselves on the quality and provenance of all their meats and have put together a Today’s Special Value Christmas feast that’s fit for a king.

The TSV, this Thursday, includes joints of Turkey, Beef, Gammon and all the trimmings are selected for you too, perfectly frozen and packed to perfection, this bumper Christmas extravaganza will be delivered to you in time for the big day.

Now, don’t forget I’ll be launching this for you at 9pm on Wednesday so tune in to get some amazing tips from our chefs on how to cook the perfect Christmas dinner, and make the most of everything Althams has to offer.
