  I was asking myself the same thing....how much is 1 quantity of meringue?, I think he refers to the meringue powder mix.

  Spatrick and Lucuma - the quantity of meringue and pâté à bombe, I think, are the same as in Ramsay's other mousse recipes. Here's a link to another recipe, you'll find the recipes for both the meringue and pâté à bombe in the "goes well with..." section on this page. good luck! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2716/strawberry-and-rosewater-mousse ps. I made the rosewater mousse and it works well as a basic recipe, so I presume this one will too.

  pps. all of that meaningless jumble of letters and symbols is supposed to say 'pate a', just with the accents on the correct letters. damn computers!
