I have been going back through some of my old folders of collected recipes and came across this mousse recipe which needed only a few adjustments to make it gluten-free. The recipe had the layers one on top of the other but I made them separately for some reason. I have given the instructions for making a layered mousse however.
Note that the salmon mousse is also low Fodmap and the avocado one would be suitable for those with IBS who can tolerate sorbitol.
The weather in New Zealand is just beautiful at the moment and it is such a pleasure to be alive on such days even though I spend most of my time inside working. But I can see it out my window and I make sure I get my daily walk along the beach. I have been working hard on my next cookbook and it is almost ready. I am planning on doing a video for it, which is a first and a bit scary. I have all sorts of ideas for the video but whether it will turn out like my plans is yet to be seen. The cookbook is called “Low FODMAP Menus for Irritable Bowel Syndrome”. It is 124 pages long, has 40 recipes and over 90 photos. It also contains plenty of information on the low FODMAP diet. This is the cover. It might change but this is it right now.
- 2 medium avocados
- 2 level tsp gelatine dissolved in ¼ cup of hot water
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- A few drops of Tabasco sauce
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp of chopped parsley
- 200gms fresh salmon poached in water
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup of mayonnaise
- 3 level tsp gelatine dissolved in ¼ cup of hot water

REMINDER: today is the last day that you can buy the Winter Soups Cookbook for $3.97. Then it will go to its normal price of $9.97 for the rest of the year. You can read more about it here on my Winter Soups page.
It’s snowing here at the moment, so the only going out will be tomorrow morning to shovel the white stuff! Your weather sounds much better. 😉 Lovely dish — I actually like serving it as you, so people can select the flavor they prefer. Exciting news about your book! And a video, too? That should be a lot of fun!
Snow can be gorgeous for photos but not so much for life.
I hadn’t thought about it like that with the mousse. You have a good point.
Glad to hear your summer has finally arrived. I love the look of your mousses and how pretty they are. I love the colours. And I can see how pretty they must be when layered on top of each other. Congrats on your new cookbook. You certainly have been busy. I love the image on the cover xx
Thanks, Charlie. I am actually going to be making the recipe on the cover again today for some of the video shots. It’s a simple yummy recipe.
Love your recipes! and love the cover of your new book! Can’t wait!
Thanks so much, Carly. It’s lovely to hear that.
