Book Reviews of Man Eating Bugs: The Art and Science of Eating Insects
Book Review: A fabulous book, even if you don't eat "bugs"
Summary: 5 Stars
I reviewed books for years, including hundreds of "coffee table books." This is the all-around best such book I ever saw. Physically, the photos and printing are superb. More significantly, the text is plentiful and wonderful. Most coffee table books have little or no text, much less worth reading. This book is also USEFUL; it includes recipes! A friend of mine, impoverished, still walked across the United States, from Maine to Oregon, largely subsisting on road kill and insects prepared following the guidelines of these recipes.
For those of you who are inspired, and live near Santa Monica, California, the Typhoon restaurant on the south side of the field is famous for its superb insect dishes, along with more ordinary Chinese food. Munch on Kung Pao Grubs as you watch the student pilots batter their Cessnas into the tarmac. What a pleasant evening!
