Cornish Pasty Illustrated Recipe Tea Towel

High quality unbleached organic cotton tea towel, screen printed with my unique system of linocut illustrated recipes - each image is an ingredient, the complete design is the recipe - the cooking instructions come on the packaging - everything you need to make a classic Cornish Pasty.

A Cornish kitchen is not complete without a blue stripy Cornishware jug - the iconic British design that is almost 100 years old, first seen in 1924, I have matched the colour of this tea towel to the distinctive blue of these classic jugs.

Originally cooked for miners in the Cornish tin mines, the pastry case was used as packaging for the filling, protecting it from the miner's dirty hands and discarded rather than eaten.

In addition to the ingredients, to add a flavour of Cornwall I have included a Cornishware jug and a fishing boat inspired by the paintings of Cornish artist Alfred Wallis, a personal favourite and much ignored artist from late 19th and early 20th century.
