A Sweet History of the Madeleine
The madeleine's story begins in 18th-century France, in the heart of Lorraine, where a young pastry chef named Madeleine is said to have created these delicate, shell-shaped wonders for a duke’s banquet. The Duke of Lorraine loved them so much, he named them after her! Soon after, the madeleine found its way into royal palaces, becoming a favorite of King Louis XV and famously inspiring writer Marcel Proust’s nostalgia in In Search of Lost Time.
Winning the hearts of kings and queens (and, let’s be honest, anyone with taste buds), the madeleine’s soft, buttery perfection has stood the test of time. At A La Pêche, we’ve taken this French classic and given it a modern twist—gluten-free but still très délicieux!
