Round about 100 years ago, a gentleman by the name of Marcel Proust wrote a not-short novel called, In Search of Lost Time, which was published in seven volumes (you know, like you do). Early in the beginning of the first volume - Swann’s Way - Proust famously mentions a madeleine, which is a delightful French cookie/cake hybrid, that triggers an involuntary memory of his. Food can be powerful like that. Today for your Thanksgiving reading, I’m offering you books about magic foods - things that make you feel certain emotions based on flavors or can remind the eater about the past.
