Lemon foam can be savory or sweet. When savory, it is a light, velvety and lemony dish to accompany your vegetables or to have a snack. When sweet, it is still velvety and lemony but it has a sweetness added by the sugar, making it ideal for a light dessert; you'll need a whipping siphon to make the sweet version.

Ingredients

Savory lemon foam :

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 5 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (optional)

Sweet lemon foam :

  • 100ml water
  • 30g sugar
  • 3g gelatine
  • 1 egg white
  • 100ml lemon juice

    It should appear light and velvety without being stiff. You'll need to charge it again if the foam disappears too fast.
