Field notes
KEPT divides its material into a Red List, classical repertoire, technique notes, brigade structure, manuscripts, and kitchen French. The homepage describes pastillage, pulled and blown sugar, chaud-froid, and aspic work as practices whose survival depends on being taught and recorded. It also invites deposits of handwritten recipe cards, retired chefs’ notebooks, menu drafts, and terms that have fallen out of use.
