"November issue of Australian Table Magazine. Looks like an elegant entree for a dinner party. Believe you could do this in a larger mould (would require more chill time to set though I think, and serve buffet style surrounded with melba toast, crackers and or fresh crispy vegetables. The cook time is for the melba toasts but the mousse is no cook."
