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).

Inspiration: Pierre Gagnaire and Hervé This (Wind Crystals)
Addition 6. Feb 2007: Gagnaire's pages are now in French only, see Cristaux de vent.
Addition 2. Jul 2011: Finnish LUMA centre has posted Troll cream on it's experiment pages.
I just published a recipe for trollcream at LUMA-centres Jippo webzine.
