Comments on: Nigella Lawson - Prawns with Maryam Zaira Sauce http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/06/04/prawns-with-maryam-zaira-sauce/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I actually took those photos myself so I am feeling doubly chuffed :D I have to admit, I didn't like the Goldyna mayo much either. At first I wasn't sure if it was the harissa or the mayo as the harissa was so strong but it was a bit bitter to me. I thought it should be better as it was expensive and came in a nice jar (illogical logic I know). Mmmm garlic prawns are delicious! Did you enjoy them? :) Thanks, I came across that a few days ago (perhaps it's new, I've never come across that page before?). Interesting and some are absolutely huge errors! :o Hi Maria-Why thankyou so much! I actually took those photos myself so I am feeling doubly chuffed :D

They look SO good!! A brilliant photo! I've never enjoyed mayo's from the GOLDNYA brand for some reason..and I've had them two or three times in Sydney actually.. Usually around Christmas when eating our Christmas fare from the fish markets. Thank you for sharing your experience. My girl and I shared some garlic prawns last night actually at home :) To go off the subject a little... Last night when trying to get to this site (your site) I ended up on Nigella's site! I found a section that lists corrections to her cookbooks and there are numerous. You might already know about this of course, but I thought I'd let you know just in case. :) http://www.nigella.com/news/detail.asp?article=1890&area=2 For me the first photo of the prawns and sauce was like almost the best photo ever to rival any level of food photography!

Great post, Lorraine!

Hi Esz-There's just something that excites me about seeing a plate of massive prawns. I think because I've had some bad smaller prawns in my life. I would make it again but only if I built up the taste of the harissa. Definitely not with the full amount o harissa though! :lol: Hi tian-Yeah I considered that but I already knew that I had too much sauce on my hands (not literally) :lol:
