Egg noodles drawn as a smiling tangle, next to carrots and celery with their own faces, is this style doing what it does best on a simple list. Ten stickers with closed outlines fill the cream panel, the six steps run down in coral markers, and the grid of the notebook shows at the corners.

What this style does
Every ingredient is drawn like a Japanese sticker: a closed brown outline, a soft gradient from light to deep, two pink cheeks and a tiny face. The page is a grid notebook with a large cream panel laid on it, edges gently buckled, and the steps are numbered with orange, coral and blue markers.
Cream, coral, blue, orange and brick, five inks and not one more. A rounded Japanese gothic in capitals for the title, a running hand for the signature. The object it imitates is a sheet of Japanese stickers.
