I did not know the history behind the peach Melba, but I’ve been a fan of that flavor combo for a long time. I like fresh peaches and raspberries in yogurt, among other things. In fact, while I don’t have any ice cream, I have yogurt, and I just happen to have some fresh peaches and raspberries in the fridge. I think I know what I’m having for dessert tonight!!

A lovely tribute to a classic.

Enjoyed this post, Jolene, as I do all of yours. The connection to history is always intriguing. I've never made Peach Melba, nor do I think I've ever tried it, but now I think I'll do both--and maybe riff on the recipe. Thanks for the inspiration.

My moms peach tree is over-producing and she is freakin out, like Seinfeld's parent with fruit of the month club. she gave me a crate full! So glad I found your platform and this post! What a grat story. I am a huge fan of Escoffier and Ritz, and love anyone who tells their stories!
