"roots are sometimes traced to the ""casque à meche"" (stocking cap) worn by 18th-century French chefs. The colour of the ""casque à meche"" denoted the rank of the wearer. Boucher, the personal chef of the French statesman Talleyrand, was the first to insist on white toques for sanitary reasons. The modern toque is popularly believed to have originated with the French chef Marie-Antoine Carême (1784–1833), who stiffened the ""casque à meche"" with cardboard .
