Our founder Pranee always says apply the Thai ethos of Sanuk to your Thai cooking. 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. Where can I get a Giggling cookbook? 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. Tasty Thai Recipes We hope you enjoy recreating the Giggling Squid flavours and aromas in your own kitchen.
