THE EAT-A-BUG COOKBOOK 33 Ways to Cook Grasshoppers, Ants, Water Bugs, Spiders, Centipedes and Their Kin "Waiter, there's a fly in my soup!" Or wait . . . maybe it's a katydid, a silkworm, or a tasty young bee. Anything's possible at the Eat-A-Bug Cafe, otherwise known as the kitchen of naturalist David George Gordon, entomological epicure extraordinaire. Gordon has gone to the ends of the earth, to his backyard, and under the refrigerator to find culinary inspiration, and now, after years of experimentation with entomophagy (that's bug-eating, for those of you in the cheap seats), he presents the results with relish . . . or at least a light cream sauce. Now you too can tantalize and terrify your family and friends with Gordon's one-of-a-kind recipes, including the ever popular Fried Green Tomato Hornworm (the Whistle Stop Cafe was never like this!) Anecdotes, insights and culinary tips (such as the right wine to serve with scorpions) make this truly a book like no other. And yes, David really has eaten everything in the book (except for the 7-inch bird spiders, and that wasn't his fault!) Not only that, he's come back for seconds, as have folks who've attended his popular cooking demos. Open your culinary horizons. Eat a bug. Buy this book. High Praise for The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook: "The Eat a Bug Cookbook is a sure kitchen conversation piece--even if you never try Three Bee Salad or Chocolate Cricket Torte, you'll laugh out loud, squirm uncomfortably, and lick your chops while taking this deliciously creepy culinary tour." --Therese Littleton, reviewer, Amazon.com Follow these links to more reviews: | | Discover | Die Zeit (in German)
