Peach Melba is a delicate dessert made from a mix of sugary peaches and raspberry puree atop vanilla ice cream. Chef Auguste Escoffier created the dessert to honor the Australian opera singer, Nellie Melba. The fresh fruity flavors of this dish are a perfect ending to a summer night. Use quality ingredients to allow the flavors to stand out the way Escoffier intended. Peach Melba is an easy dessert to prepare and has remained a crowd favorite for years. There have been a few adaptations of this popular dish, like Pear Melba, and others prefer to use a raspberry sauce instead of a puree. In this video, Chef Susie provides an online cooking lesson for Peach Melba that will have you cooking like a professional. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
