Just in: ‘Soupe’ kitchen towels from Tuscany

Quick, before the stock runs out again, order some of these “Soupe” kitchen towels from Seeds from Italy as hostess gifts. All linen, they’re made in Tuscany and printed with illustrations of heirloom vegetables. Available in four colors—red, green, orange and purple to match any kitchen. A great gift for Italophiles in the kitchen.

“Soupe” kitchen towels, $15 each online from Seeds of Italy.

Psst! And while, you’re at it, why not order any or all of the four varieties of fava beans just in from Italy. Founder Bill McKay suggests that in California they should be planted in fall.
