For many Americans, eating a lowly insect is something youd only do on a dare. But with naturalist and noted bug chef David George Gordon, bug-eating is fun, exciting, and downright delicious!
Now you can impress, enlighten, and entertain your family and friends with Gordons one-of-a-kind recipes. Spice things up at the next neighborhood potluck with a big bowl of Orthopteran Orzo-pasta salad with a cricket-y twist. Conquer your fear of spiders with a Deep-Fried Tarantula. And for dessert, why not try a White Chocolate and Wax Worm Cookie? (Theyre so tasty, the kids will be begging for seconds!)
Today, there are more reasons than ever before to explore entomophagy (thats bug-eating, by the way). Its an environmentally-friendly source of protein: Research shows that bug farming reduces greenhouse gas emissions and is exponentially more water-efficient than farming for beef, chicken, or pigs. Mail-order bugs are readily available online-but if youre more of a DIY-type,The Eat-A-Bug Cookbookincludes plenty of tips for sustainably harvesting or raising your own.
Filled with anecdotes, insights, and practical how-tos,The Eat-A-Bug Cookbookis a perfect primer for anyone interested in becoming an entomological epicure.
