Julian Barnes | Margin Notes

According to my brother, I was born bossy. Since he didn’t enter the world until I was nearly four, he clearly exaggerates. I prefer to describe myself as evangelical about my enthusiasms. When I find a book I love, for instance, I want others to love it too. Lots of others.

About Margin Notes

I write about food, interior design, and art for a variety of publications. And I scribble constantly in the margins of my cookbooks, recipe binders, travel diaries and interview notebooks. These ideas and tips are the margin notes of my culinary life and the core of this blog.

I ask only that comments never include a mention of peas -- that dinnertime horror of my clean-your-plate childhood, that blight of springtime restaurant menus, that staple of banquet entrees. Margin Notes is a Pea-free Zone.
