I have always kept a notebook as I simply cannot remember everything. I still have my notebook from my externship at the Four Seasons when I was in cunlinary school so many years ago. To this day I still use receipes from that notebook. My most treasured notebook is the one I kept while I was in Europe it is near and dear to my heart. In it I have drawings of the ravioli techinques the little old Italian ladies used to make the raviolis, and much much more. I find it is a great way to track your learning as well.
Great topic!
