As anyone who's read this blog knows, I love cooking, love recipes, and love collecting things with recipes on them such as recipe postcards, recipe rubber stamps, and now, recipe tea towels. I stumbled upon these quite accidentally with an Anthropologie purchase of a pair of towels bearing a recipe for Irish Soda Bread. It was close to St. Patrick's Day at the time, and I thought it would be a wonderful way to wrap rustic loaves of Irish Soda Bread to give as gifts. It was, the recipients loved it! Foolishly, I failed to photograph the towels, the bread wrapped up in the towels, or buy an extra one to keep for myself. Lesson learned there. Ever since this initial purchase, I now seem to find recipe tea towels everywhere. I also consider them to be a most practical souvenir to pick up whenever we travel. I don't know that I'll ever make any of the recipes, but I enjoy reading and displaying them. Try to come up with ideas for their use on your own, and please share them with me.
Here are a few of my favorites.
 |
| A nice assortment of Manx (Gaelic) recipes on a very colorful towel. |
 |
| Here's a recipe for strudel...in Italian! |
 |
I love this towel with both English and Spanish versions of a recipe for Paella. I'm not going to use it as a towel though, but will fly it as a flag at our next Paella cooking bash. |
 |
| I love this cozy kitchen scene and recipe for Yorkshire Pudding. |
 |
| I love everything about the newest addition to my collection from the recipe to the curtain blowing in the breeze from the open window to the table full of delicious looking scones. |
 |
| This tea towel features Cornish recipes, some of them sound pretty good. I'll have to start a new series of blog posts of recipes I've tried that appear on tea towels! |

How neat, I never seen these recipes towels. They look so cute too. Great photos, thanks for sharing.
Those recipe tea towels are so cool, Patti. I have but one I've been saving. I don't really come across them often. I LOVE the one with the Paella recipe, if I had to choose just one:)
Thank you so much for sharing...
