QED in a nutshell

Quality eating and drinking, facilitated by Londoners for Londoners — if you read all about us, you'll see where we fit into the Capital's food culture. A key point is that we are local, with a London focus (though not, we hope, just inward-looking and parochial), and we can therefore be agile enough to fit into London's ever-changing environment. We hope that you will enjoy our London Life column, our recipes and reviews, and we hope you will participate in our events (of which we have a combined total of over fifty years' experience). Put this all together, and we have all arguments laid out and proven — QED.

 

Here comes Fire and Ferment!

QED is delighted to announce the start of a series of discovery food markets in conjunction with Westfield Stratford City. These will take place every month, with the exception of the peak Olympic congestion times of July and August.

These markets are designed to be more than just an opportunity to purchase goods on offer: QED breaks through the buyer-seller barrier with an extensive programme of tastings, classes and workshops, run by QED Directors and their associates in the Great Eastern Kitchen (just indoors from International Square, the market location) as a complement to the stallholders' offerings. So you will have an unrivalled opportunity to

• question the experts and enthusiasts
• explore the unusual and unique
• discover the new and the wonderful

QED.

Look at our programme of markets, and savour the imminent delights of our first market, Fire and Ferment, which celebrates all things smoked and fermented. Look in on our breaking-news mini-site for the latest information on Fire and Ferment as it becomes available, including the full programme of free access tastings, demos and workshops.
