 ==Thai dipping sauce==
 [[Haddock fish cakes with lime leaves and dipping sauce]]
+==Thousand Island dressing==
+This is the classic sauce for prawn cocktail, as I make it. I like it with a decent heat kick, but if not, reduce the sambal oelek.  All the quantities are indications - adjust to your taste.
+;Ingredients
+:4 Tbsp mayonnaise - Hellmann's is fine.
+:2 Tbsp creme fraiche (or greek-style yoghurt)
+:1 tsp tomato paste
+:1 tsp sambal oelek (or to taste - see below)
+:1 tsp grated horseradish or shop bought horseradish sauce, e.g. Kühne mierikswortel
+:1 Tbsp finely chopped shallot or white part of spring onion.
+:1 Tbsp chopped gherkin
+:1 Tbsp chopped capers
+;seasonings
+:salt & pepper and hot chilli -  chill powder, cayenne, Tabacso or Encona
+;Method
+#Mix all the ingredients together. Adjust the quantities as you like. Add more tomato paste for a deeper pink. Adjust the seasoning and make hotter with addition of Encona, Tabasco, chilli powder or cayenne.
