I feel your pain. enochsmiles and I cook the way jazz bands improvise. We'll start with a general theme ("beef, and a red-wine-based sauce"), and he'll start committing acts of saucery while I season the meat. He'll feed me dollops of sauce-in-progress as I'm busy grinding and hand-rubbing spices, and we'll shift the direction of our seasoning in response to one another's work.
Unfortunately this doesn't lend itself well to keeping notes, so we've had a lot of "that was amazing and we're never going to be able to recreate it" meals.
