Marmalade on toast -- hot or cold? This month, we get into the fascinating world of marginalia in cookbooks - the practice of adding and editing recipes in your cookbooks and recipe cards, and clipping recipes from newspapers, magazines, and sharing recipes in a collection. We also brew up some sunshine, in the form of tangy, bittersweet marmalade! Steph discovers some charming notes in Mackenzie King's diaries about marmalade and his affirmations as a young person ("Make this a good month"), while Torey looks at the complicated history of scribbled notes in the margins of recipe books everywhere.
