Intro:
The kitchen accessory most highly prized by Certified Executive Chef Thomas Hiestand is not his well-honed chef's knife, or even his favorite sautese. Hiestand is never without his chef's hat, or toque.

The toque has seen Hiestand through elaborate, fairy-tale wedding receptions, corporate banquets, and celebrity dinners where everything must simply be perfect.

So valued are Chef Thomas' services that he could not be spared to take a lengthy European holiday. So he did the next best thing-he sent his beloved Toque to gather the best regional recipes and photographs he could find.

The result is a delightful follow-up to the Toque's travel around the United States. The Traveling Toque's European Collection of recipes is inspiring reading and even better dining.
