The chef''s towering white toque, the high bonnet, is the mark of achievement to which every young sauce-stirrer aspires. Idwal Jones''s urbane novel follows the young provincial Jean as he attempts to master culinary art at the hands of Paris''s most distinguished chefs. Jean will win his high bonnet and the royal bearing that accompanies it - but not until he''s had many outrageous adventures, in the kitchen and out. High Bonnet is a sly send-up of the seething politics, subtle artistry, and enslavement to the palate that constitute life behind the kitchen''s swinging doors. First published in 1945 and out of print for more than four decades, High Bonnet will delight readers of Anthony Bourdain''s bestselling Kitchen Confidential or of Ludwig Bemelmans''s Hotel Splendide.
Set in the Napa Valley at the turn of the century, this novel evokes the character's love for the land. Ada Pendle is the daughter of a viticulturist who taught her well but dies, leaving her without any property. She therefore has to rely on her skills at one of the old vineyards.
