Cookery Postcards

A Saturday morning & the post has just arrived.

I think I heard a postcard drop onto the mat.

The simple joy of receiving a handwritten communication bringing news from friends of recent travels & meals.

A little while ago one of my chums bought me a box of Penguin Cookery Postcards - 100 cookbook covers in one box.

Happiness unbridled.

The box itself is a thing of beauty.

Gems contained within.

It is a culinary set of 100 cookbook covers curated by Penguin Art Director, John Hamilton. A potted history of book jacket art over the last sixty or so years.

The designs are from many countries & spotlight varied cuisines.

They are special to me so therefore I am discerning when it comes to dispensing them.

Later today I'm going to write one to send to Robert.

Oh, & I was right, it was a postcard which landed earlier. Two friends & their hound who had just visited here:

I'm now going to sit down with a glass of wine & take time to read about what they made of their trip & if they ate there.

Obviously.
