To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In general I add extra spices to all recipes as they always seem more flavourful that way, but all the base is there to guide you to a great tasting dish. This Giggle Squid Cookbook was written by Pranee and her husband Andy who opened the first Giggling Squid restaurant in their small Brighton fishmonger's cottage over 20 years ago.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. For as long as we have been operating, we’ve had requests for recipes from guests who’ve loved our food as much as we do. There’s real love and effort that goes into cooking this dish properly, but the flavour of the sauce – sweet and rich – works beautifully with the crispy-skinned duck, making it a long-time favourite in our restaurants. It’s with much joy and some over-excited tentacle waving, that we announce the launch of the first Giggling Squid cookbook. Plus exciting chapters inspired by the latest exciting addition to the restaurant menu - breakfasts and light meals and a special drinks section with spicy teas and zingy cocktails and mocktails .

Plus exciting chapters inspired by the latest exciting addition to the restaurant menu – breakfasts and light meals and a special drinks section with spicy teas and zingy cocktails and mocktails. It’s never too early to start considering the best restaurants for your Christmas party if you’ve been tasked with organising the team festive outing or if you’re the person who always rallies friends and family for gatherings and seasonal fun! Nothing gets us Giggling like flavour, freshness, fire and fizz – not only in our Thai-licious dishes but also in our cocktails and mocktails.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. Dishoom’s debut cookbook is a great example, a comprehensive exploration of their menu and the extensive work behind seemingly simple dishes. A cashew nut stir-fry and coconut rice that’s all the best sweet and spicy bits of Thai cuisine (but I believe owes a debt to The Wok for my improved stir-frying); Lamb Shank Massaman are three words that just can’t fail; and their more unique dishes like Chubby Pork Cheek Stew or butternut squash hollowed out and stuffed with vegetable curry are all decent fodder. There are vegetarian and vegan recipes throughout and delightfully sticky deserts with sweet,fruity Thai flavours. Our chefs rose to the challenge, scrutinising every ingredient that goes into creating our full-flavoured dishes.

It was originally a nickname for the son of co-founders Andy and Pranee and subsequently the name of their first restaurant in Brighton.On that menu is everything that makes Thai cuisine so brilliant: curries of all colours, noodles that are sweet, spicy, salty and sour in equal measure and vibrant stir-fries and salads. Made the winter warmer curry with the stated 6tbls of sugar and ended up with six cavities just testing the sauce more sugar than a litre bottle of coke. From authentic tapas-style starters like Golden Money Bags and Sweet Jicama Salad to beef, curry and rice dishes; this cookbook offers up tantalising Thai recipes with an exciting twist. Or if you’re a culinary adventurer and keen to add new dishes to your cooking repertoire, you might be drawn to our Light Meals section which offers delicate Thai rice soups and noodle broths such as Khao Tom with Spicy Prawns and Kuay Jab (rolled rice noodles in five- spice broth) and Thai omelettes (cooked the Thai way and every bit as delicious as the western version). If you are a reasonably competent cook you’ll realise reading the ingredients measurements that there seems to be mistakes in how much to use especially as far as sugar goes.
