Fashionably Ate

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. What we're obsessed with in history Steph : Rediscovering the Nancy Drew video games of her youth. (For the article Torey mentioned in response: The Case of the Disappearing Nancy Drew Video Games ) Torey : Her great-aunt Mary's recipe book, chock-full of marginalia.
