Peach Melba is a classic dessert created by legendary French chef Auguste Escoffier in the late 19th century. Named after Australian opera singer Nellie Melba, it features ripe peaches, vanilla ice cream, and a luscious raspberry sauce. The dish was first served at the famous Savoy Hotel in London, where Escoffier was the head chef. The combination of sweet, juicy peaches, creamy ice cream, and tangy raspberry sauce creates a symphony of flavors that has stood the test of time. Today, the best versions of Peach Melba can be found in fine dining restaurants and pastry shops around the world, where chefs meticulously source the freshest peaches and raspberries to create this iconic dessert. The key to a perfect Peach Melba lies in the quality of the fruit and the balance of flavors in the raspberry sauce. For a twist on the classic recipe, some chefs also incorporate toasted almonds or a splash of liqueur into the dish, adding an extra layer of complexity to this timeless treat.
