Style guide

Every block the editor can place in a story, set in the CraveNotes type.

These are the blocks a story can hold. The same styles apply inside an article and on a page like this one.

Headings

A subheading for a turn in the piece

Body text sits under it in the same measure, with room to breathe.

A label

Small caps are for ingredients, courses, and asides that should not shout.

Emphasis

A sentence can carry weight, lean into italic, or point somewhere else, like the about page.

Lists

  • Salt the water before it boils.
  • Taste twice, once for salt and once for acid.
  • Rest the meat. The plate can wait.
  1. Heat the pan until it is quiet and hot.
  2. Add the fat, then the aromatics.
  3. Finish with something fresh.

Quotation

Cook as if someone you like is coming over, even when they are not.

A section of its own

Header cards break a long piece into courses.

A summer drink

The house glass

A short recommendation, the way a magazine mentions a tool it actually uses.
