Happy National Mousse Day!
Derived from the French term for "foam" or "froth," according to the Food Lover's Companion, a mousse is a "rich, airy dish that can be either sweet or savory and hot or cold." Although in American kitchens we most frequently see mousse in flavors like chocolate, savory mousses or those with unexpected bases are becoming increasingly trendy, popularized by chefs like Mario Batali, with a Quince Mousse with dark rum and brown sugar, or creations like the Food Network's Baked Crab Cakes with Avocado Mousse.
