Narrative:
Immediately after takeoff flight attendants notified us of smoke and fumes in the cabin. We immediately declared an emergency; did the red box items and emergency checklist. The smoke and fumes dissipated and we returned to ZZZ. Aarf was requested before landing. We then taxied to the gate without incident after the flight attendants said the cabin was clear of smoke and fumes.
