History of National Peach Melba Day
The history and origin of National Peach Melba Day are not known. There is no mention of who has come up with such a Day for the Peach Melba. However, this dessert has been in existence since the 1890s. Peach Melba is a dessert made with peaches and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream. The French chef Auguste Escoffier invented this dessert in 1892 at the Savoy Hotel London. The chef has created this dessert to honor Nellie Melba, the Australian soprano who was to perform Wagner’s Lohengrin opera at the Covent Garden in 1892. Hence, the dessert is named after her.
The chef presented the dessert with vanilla ice cream as a topping with slices of peach strains of raspberry purée over it. The dessert was formerly called ‘Peach Swan’ or ‘Pecheau Cygne’ as it was presented in a swan-shaped ice sculpture topped with spun sugar.
