Want somewhere different to visit? The Escoffier Museum in Villeneuve-Loubet is a wonderful day out - especially if you are a chef!
The “Father of Modern Cuisine” enjoyed creating dishes in honor of his special guests, which is how his famous “Pêche Melba” came into being. He created it for the Australian opera singer, Nellie Melba, who sang at the Covent Gardens Opera House while she lived at the sumptuous Savoy Hotel in London where Escoffier was the Chef de Cuisine. Among many other dishes, he also created “Fraises à la Sarah Bernhardt”, and a dish that we often see on menus in France, “Tournedos Rossini”, after the famous Italian composer. Escoffier was also the innovator of the “Prix Fixe Menu” during his tenure at Le Savoy.
