Gordon, a naturalist and author of the popular "Compleat Cockroach", has researched the practice of eating bugs and presents the results with relish . . . or at least a light cream sauce. Recipes include Really Hoppin' John (grasshoppers add extra kick), Pest-O (common garden weevils in a creamy basil sauce), and Fried Green Hornworm. Full-color photos.

Work Description

"With its stylish new package, updated information on the health and environmental benefits of insect eating, and breed-your-own instructions, this new edition of The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook is the go-to resource for anyone interested in becoming an entomological epicure. Before Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain began seeking out exotic and outright bizarre foods,The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook established insect cuisine as the new food frontier and has sold consistently over the last decade. Today, insect eating is more than just a fringe movement and this revised edition of The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook is a complete primer for everyone who wants to source, cook, and broaden their culinary horizons with edible insects"-- Provided by publisher.
