A two-pound meatloaf drawn as stickers with faces is the joke this style is best at. The egg, the bread crumbs and the ketchup bottle each get their closed brown outline and their two pink cheeks, the six steps take their orange and coral markers, and the grid of the notebook still shows at the corners of the cream panel.

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.
