The color is called Sunset Mauvish Pinkish Orange. If you buy the crayola crayons with the oversized 1200 color box (with TWO crayon sharpeners), it is usually the fiftieth color on the twelfth tier.

I made this for my mom on her birthday. She loves peaches and rasberries! She said this was perfect and that you are a genius. I also made her your Pavlova! She loved it!. Thankyou so much Chef John! Keep on posting videos. I've made her so much stuff of yours and my dad loves your brownies! Keep posting! :)

Thanks! Great job on the being first. It's quite an honor.

I am a Muslim and I'm fasting today. I can't believe I even clicked on your video. Oh God. Love you Chef John. Ugh fml

No matter how bad I feel or how much my day sucked, when I ear the music with the smoothing voice of chef John, I know everything is going to be just fine!

Made this today. The grocery store didn't have raspberries; not even frozen ones! So I substituted with black berries. Came out very, very delicious. :) Glad I went for it. Will definitely try it with raspberries another time. The smell coming from the peaches in the vanilla-lemon syrup gave me a bit of a head ache; not my kind of smell. Delicious though!

I just made this, it was absolutely delicious - the best part was the raspberry sauce, tangy yet sweet and bursting with raspberry goodness.

So, my sisters boyfriend has this gigantic peach tree in his garden. Peach Gelee, Peach Cobbler and Peach Melba. I've done all three and they were amazing. Thank you for the recipes John :)

I started experimenting a couple years ago cooking fruit with balsamic vinegar and really liked the results - now I feel vindicated because someone who is a professional does this too. Thanks Chef John! :D

The infamous freakishly small wooden spoon

Man his voice is soothing. It is like one of those TV Dads that gives you that amazing heart to heart talk where it ends with a "Thanks Dad!"

"Yes, this would be a much easier dessert for people to eat if you cut the peaches up, but then you don't get that beautiful presentation, so don't do it." Lol, foods before dudes

I just made this, and now I'm bummed I have to wait for it to chill, so I can't eat it 'til tomorrow. The smell of the vanilla peach syrup on the stove is the most heavenly aroma I've ever had the pleasure to experience. After the peaches are gone, I'm saving that syrup to drizzle on ice cream, fruit, cake, you name it!

I love food and I love opera, so after seeing this video about five times (like ya do) I looked for online recordings of Nellie Melba, who was one of the mostly highly paid and esteemed entertainment figures of her day. As with most great singers of her time (and a few from our own time!) recordings don't flatter her, and as recording technology was improving she was aging. But you can still hear what a wonderfully expressive singer she was.

My husband is a very happy man because of this recipe. Thanks chef John!

And I picked up raspberries and peaches today too! And I'll sliver up some almonds because I'm making Almond Crusted Salmon for dinner. But the raspberry sauce and peaches are all simmered and cooling off as I speak!

This guy's voice and presentation is so convincing, he could sell ice to an eskimo.

i could just listen to Chef John's voice all day...

His sarcasm, I love it so much.

i think the color should be named: "Bleeding peach" sounds dangerously beautiful

I was thrown off when I didn't hear "and just a pinch of cayenne..." :)

A French dessert created by Auguste Escoffier, named after Australian opera singer, born Helen Porter Mitchell, better known as Dame Nellie Melba, she changed her name in honour of her home town of Melbourne. She was actually from a suburb of Melbourne named Richmond.

Words cannot describe the degree of my hunger right now.

"...So let's assume that just this once you actually listen to me..." Shit, Chef John called me out.

In these early videos, the amount of Chef-John-ness in his voice hasn't yet fully ripened.

The color is magenta! Beautiful!

"...slowly, drizzle that raspberry sauce over your peach." I see you Chef John. lol 😉

The video hasn't started but i can just tell this is going to be a delicious one.

If cooking were in the Olympics, Chef John would represent Team USA and bring home the gold

This guy should be on the food network. Seriously.

I have never cooked any of these things but I still like watching the videos.

a single tear ran down my cheek. it's....it's beautiful...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT LOOKS AMAZING.

Good God.... that looks like heaven on a plate!

It's like... I just want to cry. It's RIGHT THERE but all I can do is watch it sit there and be delicious

Yes :)

This is a remarkably consistent, good chef.

Thank you for changing your speech technique and not using the uptalk anymore, I can watch with the sound on. Love your videos

Wow! Just Wow!

I just made this for my friend's family and they loved it! It tastes amazing and it wasn't too hard to make! Thank you for the recipe!!!! I look forward to making more of your awesome dishes :]

he has the best voice i have ever heard

❤ the sass in this one

best recipe ive ever seen on youtube. i will use this on a date!

Me too! I don t always like every recepe but i want to watch every video

Chef John, you make me hungry before bedtime. You get me EVERY time.

holy moly. the colors ARE amazing

Oh chef John... I love you :)

My jar litterally dropped in awe when the sauce was poured over.

Oh my God this looks like .....Heaven......

Helen Porter Mitchell aka Dame Nellie Melba, took her stage name from Melbourne, where i live. Yum !

i love when says enjoy.... because is all about to enjoy !! :D

My goooooooooooosh! GIVE ME! I have to try this out! Love warm peaches and raspberries baaah looks so good! And that color you're talking about... One of the most gorgeous colors ever!

Oh wow! . I always admired a photo in my mother’s BH&G cookbook way back when, never did make it. Yours is even more spectacular. Now I will definitlely put them on my cooking bucket list!

Love you chef John, thanks for all the awesome recipes!! Your channel is my #1!!!

Had no idea that that's what peach Melba is, essentially! Yum!

I agree. He says everything pretty wicked awesome-like.

Wow, I didn't realize I was drooling until after the video had ended and Chef's John magic spell had finally been broken over me. I need some of this now.

I totally want to eat this with hot peach and cold ice cream. I bet pineapples cooked this way would be good maybe with some rum....

No you need the sugar to make the fruit go thru a process called maceration. It draws the water and sugars out of the fruit. But to make it healthier you can use splenda or natural sugar cane that isnt bleached (Raw Sugar).

What a beautiful color

This just brings a smile to my face

omg! ur like the best chef ever!!!

It's delicious dessert when you prepare it on my way.Less raspberries for sauce,less spit on peaches in four lines,cream on the top and one raspberry.

My mouth. It's watering.

Chef John singing wold sound better than 99% of what's on the radio.

thank you so much Chef John as always....what a beautiful desert....I WILL be making this really soon!!

Looks lovely! And no lemon zest and no cayenne, that's perfect!!

If you make the peach heart shaped it would be perfect for Valentine's Day.

Mouth. Watering. I always get jealous when he starts eating it... I MUST MAKE IT!

Auguste Escoffier is the creator of that Legendary Dessert , and tha name was born because Escoffier was in love with the great and lovely singer Melba!, practically a love history in cook :')

OMG. I'm salivating.

I was with you until the almonds, that stuff'll kill me, but this looks so amazing I'll just make it without the nuts haha

I like the way you say syrup Chef John, suuuurpp

i love desert,this is yummy

I'm not a dessert person but you make me want to be lol. Love you Chef John1

I listen to you all the time :)

Looks soooo good! But you should crunch the small vanilla beans with a bit of sugar to get even more taste out of it :)

and how awesome looking it is....

I tried this and it turned out so good! Thanks for this Chef John! Now I have a question. I had some of that surgery peach syrup broth left that I used to chill the peaches in and I was wondering if I could salvage it for something else instead of just throwing it away. I made a small mixture with a little bit of corn starch to thicken it up and it made a nice little peach vanilla ice cream syrup. But I would like to know if there are any other uses for the original peach vanilla syrup?

First Time I'm Eating something while watching Chef John's video. HAAGEN DAZ Bar ice Cream. OH WAIT I'm still salivating over the icecream in the video *drools*

The main ingredient in syrup is sugar, it's the sweetener and thickener. Basically, without sugar you're looking at raspberry sauce. If you boiled it down to reduce it without the sugar it would thicken, it just won't taste anywhere near the same. Instead of a sweet syrup you'll have a sour sauce.

I love this recipe! The one I know is different from this, but I prefer yours.

Thank you for this video, and all the rest of your videos.. I've been watching your channel for a couple of years now, I love to watch cooking videos when I so badly want to eat something sweet. By the time I watch a few videos, I totally get over my sweet cravings.. Never actually bake anything, since I know if I bake I'll end up eating it !!! I have to say, this is the one video that I'm gladly going to actually make. I'm supposed to put on 10 pounds or so, I think this is a good one to start with. Thanks again.. :) :):)

OMG THIS LOOKS GOOD

I love how you say fressshly squeezed/minced/whatever. it's the next cayenne. :)

Definitely gonna make it today!

Oh wow!

It can't be unseen.

oh man, that looks soooo good

Absolutely delicious! I made it as a single serving for myself and let me tell you I am in LOVE. I ended up cooking down he syrup a bit to make it thicker and am currently using it as a sauce for my other deserts. Definitely making again.

GENIUS!

omg i love the way this man talks

it looks like a sunset!
