The good version of a dish tends to get made once and then reconstructed from memory for every attempt after, because nobody wrote down what changed between the first try and the one that worked. Eighty pages here are ruled the same way every time: the dish and where it came from at the top, serves, prep, cook and oven across a row, a box for ingredients, a box for the method, and a short box at the end headed simply 'next time.'

Thirty lined pages follow for a shopping list, a substitution that worked out, or a note that does not belong inside a recipe's own boxes.

The book does not taste anything. It only holds still long enough for the good version to survive being written down twice, which is usually the one time it actually matters.

What is inside

Recipes: 80pp; Dish and source, serves, prep, cook and oven, ingredients, method, and a short box for what to change next time.
Notes: 30pp; A shopping list or a note that does not belong inside a recipe's own boxes.

In every book

The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.

This book belongs to: One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
My details: Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
Emergency numbers: Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
Point at this: A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
World map: Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
Conversion tables: Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
Pen test leaf: The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film, 52 seconds: the cover, the ruling page, then 5 reference pages. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.

What is inside this book?

Five pages from the Recipe Notebook shown as cards: cover, divider, a recipe-format page, a lined notes page, and a conversion table page. — Five pages from the print file: the cover, a section divider, a recipe page with its ingredients and method boxes, a lined notes page, and the temperature conversion table. The 'next time' box is smaller than the others on purpose, because it only ever needs a line or two.

Specification card for the Recipe Notebook: eighty recipe-format pages, thirty lined pages, one hundred twenty pages total, A5 trim. — Eighty pages, each ruled the same way: dish and source, serves, prep, cook and oven across the top, a box for ingredients, a box for the method, a short box for what to change next time.
