A recipe whose entire secret is an instruction rather than an amount, and handwriting is where an instruction like that survives. The ten lines fall down the column in sepia, the fifteen minutes with the lid down sit under the double red margin, and the ruled squares carry on below them.

What this style does
A real school notebook: ruled squares across the page, a double red margin, binder holes, a dog-eared corner, a piece of tape, a grease spot. The title, the headings and the amounts are written by hand.
Schoolbook cream, pale blue rules, red margin, sepia ink. A running hand for the title, a reading serif for the text. The object it imitates is a school notebook written on the kitchen table.
Who it is for
The recipe that already lives on a scrap of paper, grandmothers, kitchens where nothing gets thrown away.
What is in it
2 lb chicken thighs, 1 onion, 3 carrots, 3 stalks celery, 6 cups chicken broth, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 6 tbsp butter, 3/4 cup milk, 1 handful parsley.
