Mousse is wonderful spread on crusty toast points, crackers, or slabs of rustic bread, and is a must on a vegan wine platter to complement the fermented plant cheeses and salty snacks. It is also an excellent way to increase the volume while elevate the simple pâté. For a sophisticated palate, flavour with fresh herbs, onion, nutmeg and allspice, or black truffle.
