Truely a stunning book with the most beautiful recipes and charming family stories that shows the love that these generous women have for their family & culture.
I feel honoured to be an early owner of their first foray into cookbook publishing “Mezze” and I feel (certainly hope) it won’t be their last. And an added bonus is that these beautiful recipes are written in an easy to follow format. Love your work LadiesKeren Nicholaou

This brings back some wonderful childhood memories of family dinners and the mouth watering smells wafting through the house. Thank you for “Thermomixing” the recipes to make it easier to recreate them for my family. Well done girls!!!
Sarah
I have made two items so far from the cook book. The traditional greek yogurt, so yummy and so easy. I was happy I could make it thicker than I usually buy it. I also made the rice pudding which was amazing and also very easy. I normally don’t like rice pudding so was very happy with the recipe. I’m looking forward to cooking all the other yummy recipes especially the cheeses and the souvlaki.

FAQs
How does Gordon Ramsay cook prawns? ›
- Heat some olive oil in a frying pan until it is very hot.
- Add the prawns to the pan and season with sea salt.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning the prawns until they are evenly pink.
- Add the chilli sauce and bring to the boil, simmer for 2 minutes.
Just 6 ingredients – prawns, garlic, white wine, butter, olive oil and lemon (I get salt and pepper for free). Prawns are delicious plain, so simple is best!
How do you cook prawns and keep them juicy? ›Always preheat your pan or BBQ before adding your prawns and cook on medium-high heat. If boiling or simmering your prawns in sauce or broth, add prawns in the last few minutes of cooking and cook on a low simmer, use the cooking times below. Never boil rapidly or they will become rubbery.
What's the difference between shrimp and prawn cooking? ›Prawns and shrimp are similar in texture and taste, so it's difficult to distinguish between them. However, some may say that prawns are meatier and sweeter when compared to shrimp. There are many ways to cook prawns and shrimp. They can be fried, grilled, sauteed, steamed, or broiled.
What brings out the Flavour of prawns? ›Marinate your shrimp
Shrimp have a rather mild flavor on their own, so using a marinade can infuse them with herbs and spices that help your shrimp shine. And, when you let your shrimp marinate overnight, the flavors get absorbed into the meat so that they are locked in, maximizing the punch when you take a bite.
serve Spanish Garlic Prawns with crusty bread and a simple side salad. Alternatively, serve as part of a selection of tapas, such as: Patas Bravas, Spanish Tortilla, Chorizo al Vino, Spanish cured meats (e.g. Jamón Ibérico), olives and Manchego cheese.
How many prawns per person? ›| Seafood | Per Person |
|---|---|
| Prawns | 300 - 400g |
| - small | 40 - 60 prawns per kg |
| - medium | 30 - 40 prawns per kg |
| - large | 17 - 30 prawns per kg |
It's time to clean and prep! Rinse them thoroughly with cold water in a large bowl or colander. Make sure to give each prawn their moment under the water–rubbing their shell and underbelly. To pull or not to pull (the head) is entirely up to you and how you want to cook them or, as the recipe suggests.
Why do you soak prawns in milk? ›Soak fish in milk half an hour before cooking to remove iodine taste and fishy smell. To remove the flavor or taste out of the shrimp or fish you bought, soak it in milk for about a half hour before cooking.
Why do you put baking soda in prawns? ›Alkaline baking soda slightly alters the pH of the shrimp, making them as plump and succulent as lobster and resistant to overcooking. The brine also causes the meat to pull away from the shells while cooking, so you get all the great flavor of shell-on shrimp without the hassle.
What is the secret to juicy shrimp? ›
Soak shrimp in brine
Soak quickly in brine to keep lean seafood moist as it cooks and season it throughout. A solution of 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1 quart water works to season 1 pound of seafood. Dissolve the salt in the water, and then submerge the shrimp and chill for 30 minutes.
Removing the vein is a matter of personal preference and taste, not hygiene. It's not harmful to eat. If the vein is really pronounced—dark or thick—you may want to devein the shrimp for a tidier look. Larger shrimp can also have grittier veins, which can have an unappealing texture.
What is the cooking method for prawns? ›After preparing raw prawns, you can cook them in a variety of ways. Boil them in water for 4 minutes, fry them in a pan or wok, or grill them on the barbecue, turning for 2-3 minutes, or until prawns turn opaque.
How should you cook prawns? ›Large shell–on prawns such as tiger prawns are delicious grilled. Place them on a baking tray and brush with a little butter – garlic butter works well. Cook under a preheated grill for 5–8 minutes, until they turn pink.
How to cook king prawns so they are tender? ›Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the oil or melted butter. Once the oil is hot, add the prawns or shrimp to the pan and season them with salt and pepper. Cook the prawns or shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
