Marcel Proust and Muffins
The power of literature at the service of gastronomy. A passage from the first volume of the great work of Marcel Proust, In Search of a Lost Time, elevated this cupcake to the status of icon. All because one of the most marked moments of the book is when the narrator, very depressed, decides to drink a cup of tea with a muffin. It's in that moment when the cake enters in his mouth, when the protagonist is invaded by memories of happy times letting way sadness.
