This is a recipe that lives on an index card in somebody's kitchen drawer, and the ruled page puts it back there. Nine amounts written down the column in sepia, the fifty minutes and the fifteen minutes of glazing noted underneath, tape at the top corner and a grease spot where you would expect one.

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 ground beef, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 2 egg, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 yellow onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp brown sugar, salt and pepper.
The cookbook page, the one you follow standing up while you cook.
