    What 1 Other has said

    • I decided on passionfruit's Caviar Mousse for starters on Christmas Day. I did a trial run a few weeks ago and it's a WINNER! It was so easy, not expensive and (very handy to avoid the last-minute panic) it keeps for ages in the fridge. In fact, the longer I kept it the better it tasted. Thanks so much!
