Man Eating Bugs
The Art and Science of Eating Insects
by Peter Menzel & Faith D'Aluisio
Forward by Tim Cahill

      The title Man Eating Bugs makes this book sound like a bad movie about over-grown, flesh-eating bugs. The reality , however, is that this is one first-class book documenting the primitive and contemporary traditions of eating insects all around the world.

      The color plates featured on every page of this book are simply stunning. With crystal clarity, authors Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio take the reader around the world to witness the bug-eating traditions in places like Peru, Venezuela, South Africa, Botswana, Uganda, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, China, Australia, Japan, Mexico, and even the United States. The text of the book is a narration of the authors' experiences in their world-wide pursuit of entomophagy.

      Man Eating Bugs is more like a "coffee table" book than a how-to manual. This text is a tool to alter perceptions and increase awareness about the idea of eating insects as food. Whether the book is intended for yourself, a friend, or a class of students, the reader will be fixated on the photography. You simply cannot open and close this book without broadening your horizons about the world we live in. 1998. 191 pages.

The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook
33 ways to cook grasshoppers, ants, water bugs, spiders, centipedes, and their kin
by David George Gordon

      The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook covers a wider range of edible bugs than Entertaining with Insects or Creepy Crawly Cuisine, including grasshoppers, crickets, ants, termites, cockroaches, water bugs, silkworms, hornworms, spiders, centipedes, dragonflies and moths.

      The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook also includes current information about where to order all the bugs you could ever eat, plus fascinating trivia some tips on how to harvest your own.

      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 relishŠor 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 Really Hoppin' John (grasshoppers add that little extra kick), Pest-O (common garden weevils get their comeuppance in a delicate basil sauce) and 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. Follow the detailed instructions, and your guests will ask for seconds, just like folks at David's notorious cooking demos. Open your culinary horizons. Buy this book. Eat a bug. 1998. 101 pages.
