When it comes to writing in books, my own cookbooks are the only ones
I make an exception for. Where very many recipes I've tried have notes
in the margin, reminders about which baking dish the recipe fits in, or
a temperature adjustment for my own oven, or my own amendments to the
recipe or method.
