Thai tapas starters: star signature dishes Golden Money Bags, Sweet Jicama Salad, Candy Pork with Pineapple and Grilled Squid with Garlic.
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. 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! 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. 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. Taking full advantage of Thailand’s abundance of fresh, flavourful ingredients our master Squidologists spend their days dreaming up potent luscious libations and alcohol-free sensational sips to accompany your Giggling feasts.Inspired by Thai legends and founder Pranee’s childhood food memories, we’re delighted to share a huge selection (77 in fact) of our unique recipes.
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. It was originally a nickname for the son of co-founders Andy and Pranee and subsequently the name of their first restaurant in Brighton. It’s straightforward enough and as Thai ingredients are now very easy to source in the big supermarkets you should have no difficulties in finding them unless it’s the more bespoke ingredients like galangal or Thai Basil. There’s something so immediately satisfying and a little theatrical about eating with your hands and these little nests are best enjoyed without cutlery.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. 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. Plus there are delightful breakfasts, light meals and dessert options to choose from, as well as special drinks chapters that include spicy teas, zingy cocktails and mocktails. With that same spirit comes this cookbook offering modern dishes with traditional flavors for an unforgettable culinary experience in your own home. Thai tapas starters star signature dishes G olden Money Bags, Sweet Jicama Salad, Candy Pork with Pineapple and Grilled Squid with Garlic.
