Item Description
Detailed DescriptionIt is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp(s), please check with me before you bid or place the order.
Five celebrity chefs will be honored with a set of United States stamps: James Beard, Julia Child, Joyce Chen, Edna Lewis and Felipe Rojas-Lombardi.
The five stamps will be issued in a pane of 20. The selvage area has a photograph of a large plate set on a white linen tablecloth.
Each stamp subject was described briefly on the order page for the stamp issue:
* "Teacher and author James Beard (1903-1985) avidly fostered a more vibrant food culture in the United States. He was a passionate advocate of local ingredients and markets, and his popular books covered everything from seafood to bread.
* "Through cookbooks, a trailblazing television show, and her landmark restaurants in the Boston area, Joyce Chen (1917-1994) became one of America’s greatest popularizers of Chinese food. She is also credited with introducing the flat-bottom wok to American kitchens.
* "Julia Child (1912-2004) demystified French cuisine in the United States. Her extremely popular television shows and cookbooks made her synonymous with American cooking for more than 40 years, and she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2003.
* "By bringing such quintessential dishes as shrimp and grits and roast chicken to the plates of trendy restaurants, Edna Lewis (1916-2006) showed her fellow Americans the vitality of Southern cooking.
* "Widely credited with introducing the Spanish small-plate tapas concept to American restaurants, Felipe Rojas-Lombardi (1946-1991) drew upon the eclectic kitchens of his youth in Peru to raise the profile of South American cuisine in the United States."
The stamp illustrations were created by artist Jason Seiler. Greg Breeding served as USPS art director for the project.

Important tips to save shipping fee -
If you are purchasing multiple stamps through "Buy it now" option, please make sure all the items are in the basket before any payment. Please review the invoice carefully to ensure all the items are listed there so that Hip System can apply the combined shipping discount properly.
Otherwise, Hip / PayPal will charge the FULL shipping fee for each item and they withhold the transaction fee & commission based on FULL shipping payment. There is no easy way to refund the difference unless we cancel all the transactions one by one.
If you have any question, please check with me before any payment.

In order to offer the lowest shipping fee, I am sending all items by Economy Shipping without tracking number. I cannot be held responsible if the packet is lost due to USPS. If you need extra shipping protection, please consider other delivery options.
