With the formulation of means, artistry and flair began to influence the various ways of cooking, and dishes were created after ‘the style of’ (e.g. a-la-francaise) and/or given the names of important people for whom they have been created (e.g. peach Melba) created for Dame Nellie Melba, the famous Opera Singer.
