Å fange luft med egg - Om trollkrem, skum og proteiner
("Catching Air With Eggs - Concerning Troll's Cream, Foam and Proteins")
How much foam can you get from one egg white? Why is it so difficult to get good whipped egg white foam if a small amount of grease, soap or egg yolk is present? Playing with tasts on troll's cream (troll's cream is a traditional Norwegian dessert made of egg whites whipped with sugar and lingonberries - a light and tasteful foam).
