The idea for this dessert started from a play on words, the 3 main ingredients all start with the same 3 letters in Italian (melissa = melissa, pomegranate = melagrana, quince = mela cotogna).

I actually planted some lemon balm (the North American name for melissa) simply because that's my landlady's name. :P

 

I used to also create dishes with ingredients that started with the same letter (alliteration) just because it sounded good on the menu, and people seemed to respond favorably to it when used in moderation.
