Peach Melba was created in 1894 by Escofier in honour of the Australian singer Dame Nellie Melba. Lamingtons are simply squares of plain cake dipped in chocolate and sugar and desiccated coconut. They are supposed to have been named after Baron Lamington, Governor of Queensland from 1895 to 1901. These two confections and damper were probably the only culinary inventions which Australia could call her own at the turn of the century.
