This is a new release of the original 1950 edition.
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
beautifully evokes the characters' love of the land and the rhythms
of life lived close to the earth and its seasons. Spirited Alda
Pendle is the daughter of a viticulturist who has taught her his
craft. When he dies, leaving her without property, her skills make
her indispensable to the solitary owner of one of the old vineyards
in the valley. The novel provides a vivid history of winemaking in
California to the Prohibition era.
