The Savory Heinz Way Appraisal

Soup Cookery - The Savory HEINZ Way Cookbooklet

This item is a vintage promotional cookbooklet titled "Soup Cookery - The Savory HEINZ Way." The cover is red with a maroon header and features a stylized illustration of a woman in a chef's hat and apron surrounded by floating jars of Heinz soup. Below the illustration, the number '57' is prominently displayed in a white circle with a maroon border. The title "Soup Cookery" is written in a flowing white script in the maroon header, while "The Savory HEINZ Way" is written in white script on the red portion. A handwritten name, seemingly 'Mrs. E. Shaffer,' and address, 'Platteville, Wis.' are inscribed on the lower part of the cover. The cookbooklet appears to be made of paper or thin cardstock. Based on the graphics and the presence of the "57" trademark, it is likely from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1940s or 1950s, a period reflecting the popularity of convenience foods like canned soup. The handwritten name suggests it belonged to an individual. The cover shows some wear and possibly light creasing, consistent with age and use. Overall, it appears to be in fair to good condition for its age.
