Prawn dipping sauces It’s really worth making your own dipping sauces when you’ve invested in fresh juicy prawns. The jarred stuff lacks the fresh flavour of homemade seafood sauces and just doesn’t do prawns justice! A couple of weeks ago, we catered my mother’s annual Christmas party for 30 of her friends.

Preparation You’re probably familiar with the traditional creaming method. Most cake and muffin recipes use it; they instruct bakers to incorporate fat (most often butter) into the batter by creaming it first with sugar before adding other ingredients like eggs, flour, and leaveners.
