Mousse de Foie Gras
Mousse de Foie Gras is the cold savoury mousse in its purest form: foie gras, a thickened base, gelatine, and half-whipped cream set to a cool, unctuous slice.

Updated July 29, 2026
The goose section of Escoffier, and it turns almost at once into the book's foie gras chapter. Five gosling dishes open it: braised over buttered apples, poêled and bedded on Alsatian choucroute, roasted under a sage-and-onion stuffing, jointed into a civet thickened with its own blood, braised with a horseradish cream served apart. Then the liver of the Southwest takes over and never gives the section back: whole and hot in a pastry crust that drinks the melting fat, sealed inside brioche, cut into escalopes and sautéed in clarified butter, and after that the entire cold table, timbales, aspics, mousses, chaud-froid masks, and a raised pie packed with truffled quails. The original assumed a garde-manger with an ice chest, a marble slab, and hands enough to build a mould one set layer at a time; your kitchen offers a refrigerator and an unhurried afternoon, and that is enough. One principle governs all of it. Fat is the whole subject, so cook the liver in a way that sends the fat somewhere useful, into pastry, into a terrine's seal, into jelly, and let every cold layer set firm before you pour the next.
