Foam

Definition:

In contemporary restaurant usage, this means a sauce brought to a foamy consistency, typically under pressure from a whipped cream siphon in the manner popularised by pioneering chef Ferran Adria of Spain’s El Bulli restaurant. Most foams contain gelatine or agar-agar to stabilise them.
