Acknowledgments

Thank you to my amazing husband, Matt, and daughter, Laney, for tasting dozens of madeleines with enormous self-sacrifice, patience, and humor. You have had unwavering belief in me, and I love you. To the memory of my parents, Lorraine and Joe, my Nanny Rose, and Uncle Stevie, for instilling a love of good food, prepared well. I miss you all.

To my sister, Harriett, a kindred baking spirit. To my brother Marky, who has always supported my endeavors as long as they were fudge brownies.

To Uncle Alan, Auntie Ruthie, and Auntie Faye for their love and the best cheesecakes and kugel in the galaxy.
