The order of operations is the whole recipe here, and ruled paper is the style that keeps an order readable: the roux cooked a full minute, written by hand under the double red margin, before the broth goes in. Ten amounts in sepia down the column, binder holes at the left, a dog-eared corner.

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, 6 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 yellow onion, 3 carrots, 2 celery, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 sheet puff pastry.
