Aloha "And soon, mechanically, dispirited after a dreary day with the prospect of a depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a spoonful of the tea in which I had soaked a morsel of the cake. No sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shiver ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. An exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses," (ML)

This thread is for sharing your experience with food inspired by Proust, whether you made them, bought them, or ate them at a restaurant.

Marieke | 181 comments I will be making madeleines this weekend and I will post pictures (unless its a debacle). Unfortunately the weather will not be dreary where I live.
