Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Whip the cream with the lemon zest, lovage, salt and pepper until mousse-like and refrigerate.

In a separate bowl, mix the oil and vinegar. Cut the asparagus tips to two inches in length and blanch in boiling water for 1½ minutes. Slice the stalks with a potato peeler to ribbons and dip in the vinegar bowl. Add the boiled asparagus tips and toss together.
