THEY’RE FINALLY HERE!
We honestly just wanted to make merch for ourselves, but then we took a sample tote bag and tea towel to Europe and we kept getting asked about them and now here we are!
Two items, both alike in theme and diversity of use.
You’ll be proud to drape your What Artists Eat tea towel over your shoulder or oven. Other uses include but are not limited to: drying dishes, a small picnic rug, a cape for your dog, a framed artwork, makeshift oven mitts, drum-kit practice pads… Get creative and messy!
Wear your recipes with the What Artists Eat Sofrito Tote. You’ll never need to remember how to make a sofrito again! Take it to the market, art shop, op shop, gig, picnic, record store, bottle shop, library or carry your small-to-medium sized pet!

EXCUSE ME I HAVE A QUESTION! WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT? WHAT IS “SOFRITO”?
Sofrito (Spanish, pronounced [soˈfɾito])
Sofregit (Catalan, pronounced [sufɾə'ʒit])
Soffritto (Italian, pronounced [sofˈfritto])
Refogado (Portuguese, pronounced [ʁɨfuˈɣaðu])
A ‘sofrito’ is a staple meal preparation in Mediterranean, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Latin American cooking. Many other cuisines and cultures have their own version. Typically, it consists of aromatic ingredients such as onion, garlic, carrots and celery cut into small pieces and sautéed in oil over a low heat. Here’s our go-to sofrito recipe so that you never forget it!
A sofrito is the base, the jumping off point, the smell that lights up the kitchen, the first lines of a poem, first brushstrokes, first few bars.
