Grandpa Walter's pot roast on ruled paper, with three and a half hours at 300 written out by hand under the amounts. It is the style closest to the scrap of paper these recipes come from, binder holes and dog-eared corner included, and the one that holds ten lines without looking crowded.

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
4 lb chuck roast, 2 onion, 6 carrots, 6 potatoes, 4 garlic cloves, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 1 cup red wine, 2 cups beef broth, 2 bay leaves, salt and pepper.
