Marcel Proust's literary masterpiece "A la recherche du temps
perdu" overflows with brilliant, minutely described accounts of
food and drink drawn from the author's vivid memories. After all,
it was the taste of one of those short, plump little cakes called
petites madeleines, dipped into a cup of tea, that first impelled
Proust into "a remembrance of things past." He wrote with relish
and exactitude about Francoise, the family cook in Illiers-Combray,
the restaurant at the Grand Hotel Balbec, meals at Rivebelle, La
Raspeliere, and the Guermantes' in Paris.
Shirley King, a professional chef and lifelong lover of Proust's
works, was inspired to draw these two strands together into this
tribute to a master: a collection of recipes representing the best
of classical French cuisine from Proust's belle epoque, ranging
from the sophisticated elaboration of lobster A l'americaine or
truffled partridge to the simplicity of croque-monsieur. King
combines practical instruction, quotations from Proust's works, and
rich illustrations in a way that will charm every lover of Proust
and every cook.
