About

Peach Melba is a famous dessert created by Georges Auguste Escoffier while he was chef at The Savoy, London. From that, we have taken the combination of raspberry and peaches to layer this mille feuille (literally, “a thousand leaves”). This dessert can’t be made in advance, it needs to be layered and enjoyed immediately.
