Has anyone made the Gary Rhodes Prawn Cocktail - it looks fabulous as he uses presentation rings to create a tower but the recipe looks very complicated and messy. If it is does anyone have any other suggestions for a cold starter using these rings?

Fuss Pot, do you know where I can find this recipe, as I would like to make it. Saw it on Friends for Dinner last night, but cant find it on site, Help anyone?

Fusspot, lots of ingredients can be stacked up easily using these rings, guacamole, crab meat, smoked or poached salmon, the list is endless. As long as the ingredients are not too sloppy or too heavy at the bottom, you should be ok.

A good tip when using is to put a piece of cling film on the intended bottom of the ring, twist and tighten the ends and wrap around the sides of the ring. I find this useful if I want to make a couple of hours in advance and leave in the fridge to firm up a little.

Happy cooking

That should read too sloppy at the bottom and or too heavy at the top.

A combo I use is smoked salmon (trimmings ok to use at the bottom) roughly crushed avocado, then crab meat, then small salad leaves.

If you google 'gary rhodes prawn cocktail' it will show the website where it is listed. I thing it's uktvfood or bbc food. Good luck. Let me know how you go on as I thought it was quite difficult.
