A brilliant article by Jay Rayner on this subject: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/10/food-tre...

@Janice: it's not strange, Janice, read my answer, please. I watch all the culinary shows on the BBC - I'm currently following MasterChef: The Professionals" and airs are often on the menu, together with the ubiquitous water bath.
Janice Giffin Nov 29, 2014:
Aperol Spritz is a mixed cocktail Aperol Spritz = 3 parts prosecco + 2 parts Aperol + 1 part seltzer water. I have seen recipes where fish is flavored with a drop of vermouth or some other liquor. This seems really strange. Any more information about the recipe?

Aperol Spritz air/foam

This is molecular gastronomy, which is now all the rage, thanks to chefs such as Ferran Adrià and Heston Blumenthal.
In Italian, you can also say schiuma, as a matter of fact, see reference from the authoritative magazine La Cucina Italiana.

Airs
Typically a dry, coarse foam that is mainly made up of air. Strongly flavored liquids should be used in airs because they have such a small amount of liquid.
