Carrots, celery and a bunch of parsley give this page the clearest green and orange of the anglophone collection, over a broth painted as almost nothing at all. Ten ingredients down the column one at a time, the egg noodles as a pale tangle, and the hour at a tremble written into the white in the middle.

What this style does
The background is a real watercolor: the color comes in from the edges, bleeds, then dries, and the recipe is laid out in the white it left behind. The ingredients are painted one by one, and the type works for them.
Terracotta, olive, apricot and washed blue on textured paper. A didone for the title, step markers with living edges. The object it imitates is a plate from an artist's book.
Who it is for
Sunday recipes and generous tables, bright rooms, the gift that has to move someone before it informs them.
What is in it
2 lb chicken thighs, 4 carrots, 3 celery, 1 yellow onion, 3 garlic cloves, 8 oz egg noodles, 4 sprigs thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 bunch parsley, salt and pepper.
The cookbook page, the one you follow standing up while you cook.
