chef hat
Cook's tall headwear
A chef hat is the tall, pleated white hat traditionally worn by professional cooks, also called a toque.
The height and pleats historically indicated rank and expertise in the kitchen.
The term extends to any hat associated with cooking, including the cartoonish puffy version seen in illustrations: The kid put on a chef hat to help make cookies.
