Mousse & Flans

Creamy temptations which are impossible to resist and often recall a childhood when we used to go searching in the pot with our finger for the last remnants of the cream. Maybe this is why both old and young alike love mousse and flans. Or why the first mention of creamy dishes dates back to the age of the Phoenicians, even if it was really the advent of sugar that really changed things and permitted the creation of creamy wonders like jam, gelatine, and creams made of eggs, milk, fruit and almonds.
