I hope all’s well… so that was summer! It never really got started before it ended… oh well, we are now into autumn and that takes us with a gold and red fanfare into winter and the end of year celebrations. It’s a time of year I’ve always loved and here at The Q we’re on hand nice and early with plenty of great ideas well ahead of time to make your celebrations swing.<\/p>\n

That of course includes FOOD… GLORIOUS FOOD! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We have brought you some of the UK’s finest food brands over the past few years and this year is no exception. Our buyers have been busy negotiating many mouth-watering opportunities for you and hopefully something for everybody, whatever your requirements.<\/p>\n

On Saturday the 9th of October we have an all-day Taste of Christmas<\/strong> food event and I wanted to give you a “heads up” of some of our featured shows and brands…<\/p>\n

Our Today’s Special Value (TSV) on the day is from the prestigious cookware brand Le Creuset,<\/strong> comprising a 26cm cast iron casserole pot with lid PLUS a 32cm grill pan and a cookbook to help you get the best from your new cast iron cookware! It’s available in six fantastic colour options: Flint (not Debbie), Volcanic, Deep Teal, Cerise, Meringue and Coastal Blue.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Made from a solid cast iron, the casserole pot also has an enamel interior for easy cleaning, fit for the oven or hob (including induction) and generous sized handles ideal when wearing oven gloves. The cast iron retains heat well so it’s great for keeping your food warmer for longer – if you’re serving straight to the table.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Watch out for generous interest-free instalments (Easy Pays) and as well as our own 60 day money back guarantee, there is a lifetime guarantee from Le Creuset! Oh and I forgot to mention it’s available qvcuk.com<\/a> from Wednesday the 6th of October\u2026 so you might want to get in early for some of those fab colour options. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I’m delighted to report that both myself and Mr Andi Peters will be with you for two shows on the day! Our first is at midday for an hour, then we return after letting our gourmet food settle for a two hour show at 4pm.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

We’ll feature many of your favourite gourmet brands across the three hours, such as The Original Cake Company<\/a>, Lambertz<\/a>, Toppings Pies<\/a>, Wilfreds Pies<\/a>, new fish brand The Cornish Fishmonger<\/a>, Lola’s Bakery<\/a>, Flower & White<\/a>, Jenny Wren<\/a> and not forgetting Althams Butchers<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I hope you can join Andi and I for the Andi Peters’ Food Fest<\/strong> at some point but we will be just three hours of festive food on the day, so don’t worry if you can’t join us as there will be plenty of shopping opportunities all day long! Plus, you can shop at your convenience at qvcuk.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bon appetit!<\/p>\n
