Our version of the classic Thai dish, which goes by many different names, but is often known as Weeping Tiger, although the only sound you’ll hear while cooking this dish is the delicious sizzle of beef.

There’s something so immediately satisfying and a little theatrical about eating with your hands and these little nests are best enjoyed without cutlery. 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. There’s enough good stuff to feel like there’s thought behind it and the wide variety of food that makes Thai cuisine so popular is well represented.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. Thai tapas starters star signature dishes G olden Money Bags, Sweet Jicama Salad, Candy Pork with Pineapple and Grilled Squid with Garlic. 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.

In celebration of the Coronation, our chefs created a Coronation Special fit for a King with a Royal Thai Tea and it proved so popular that some of our Giggling restaurants have decided to continue offering it. 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!

One place has turned into many and it’s now a chain of Thai restaurants across the UK and their debut cookbook is an attempt to make their menu accessible to home cooks. We love a season change here at Giggling Squid and Autumn is one of our faves – there’s nothing like a luscious Thai Green Curry or comfort-food-extraordinaire Pad Thai to warm the cockles (as Grandma Squid likes to say) when the weather’s getting a little blustery. We introduced these on a special menu to celebrate Veganuary and they proved so popular we couldn’t part with them. We are committed to offering the best value to our members, with a satisfaction guarantee on both your membership and merchandise. Our recipes range from dishes you’ll recognise if you’ve dined in at a Giggling Squid to brand new, hitherto unseen dishes!
