"Creepy Crawly Cuisine," by Julieta Ramos-Elorduy, Ph.D. The most wholesome source of protein on earth cannot be found in any supermarket in the United States, but it can be found right in your backyard! Insects have been a staple food of almost every indigenous culture, not only because of their delicious flavor but also because they provide a more complete protein than soy, meat, or fish and are concentrated sources of calcium, niacin, magnesium, potassium, the B-vitamins and many other nutrients. As the world heads for food shortages in the next century, insects are the only choice that can meet humanity's growing nutritional needs. "Creepy Crawly Cuisine" tells you everything you need to know to make insects a part of your diet. It includes an overview of the use of edible insects by indigenous cultures, information on where to obtain insects and how to store and prepare them, and over fifty gourmet recipes, complete with stunning color photographs, that let you take the cooking of insects to dazzling culinary heights. 8" x 8", 150 pages, index and bibliography.
