Apart from the luscious photographs throughout the book – it’s worth having on your bookshelf for the food images alone… – you’ll find recipes for Thai Tapas (perfect as starters or canapés to impress your guests), light meals which work beautifully for lunch, brunch or breakfast, iconic stir fries and of course the silky, rich curries that Thailand is famous for. Paneang is a less well-known Thai curry, which due to its vibrant red colour is often mistaken for its fiery red cousin. Classic dishes with new twists include all their favourite fish, meat, curry, noodle and rice dishes.

The Giggling Squid Cookbook’ is a celebration of Thai food from the much loved restaurants famous for their Thai tapas and beautifully designed bold vibrant interiors.We introduced these on a special menu to celebrate Veganuary and they proved so popular we couldn’t part with them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Loosely translated, Sanuk is about making the most out of the everyday – so dive in, don’t be afraid to experiment and ideally enjoy a few giggles along the way. At best it can be a peek behind the curtain, a thrilling glimpse into the kitchen sorcery that goes into your favourite dishes. Our recipes range from dishes you’ll recognise if you’ve dined in at a Giggling Squid to brand new, hitherto unseen dishes!Nothing gets us Giggling like flavour, freshness, fire and fizz – not only in our Thai-licious dishes but also in our cocktails and mocktails. Octopi have been shown to use tools, cuttlefish can camouflage in an instant and squid giggle if you give them ten-tickles (I’m very, very sorry). Recipes are introduced by Pranee who opened the first Giggling Squid with her husband Andy in their small fishmen’s cottage in Brighton 20 year ago.
