History Peach Melba & Melba Toast These are dishes created by Chef Auguste Escoffier for the opera singer Nellie Melba. Dame Nellie Melba GBE (born Helen Porter Mitchell; 19 May 1861 – 23 February 1931) was SJIHMCT |Pala 3 [The Gourmet] August 28, 2018 an Australian operatic soprano. She became one of the most famous singers of the late Victorian Food Calendar era and the early 20th century, and was the first Australian to achieve international recognition as a classical musician. She took the pseudonym "Melba" from Melbourne, her home town. Having returned from a tour exhausted and in poor health, Nellie Melba was put on a strict diet which included thin slices of toasted bread. Chef Escoffier’s plain dried bread then became known as Melba toast. Although any rich bread can be used, zwieback is the ideal bread due to its fine, crumbly texture. To make Melba toast, slice the baked zwieback loaves 1⁄4 inch (6 mm) thick. Cut the slices into rounds, triangles, or squares as desired. Hello Reader The most famous dessert peach Melba, which is accompanied by Melba sauce is also yet another Hope you enjoyed ‘The Gourmet’.
