Carrots, celery and peas give the watercolor a green and orange it gets nowhere else here, next to the washed cream of the broth and the heavy cream. Ten ingredients painted one by one make a long column, the puff pastry reads as pale layered strokes at the bottom, and the paint runs past the edges rather than stopping at them.

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.

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.
