Insects are a staple food of almost every indigenous culture because they are readily available. As it happens, they also provide a more complete protein than soy, meat, or fish, and are concentrated sources of calcium, niacin, magnesium, potassium, and B-vitamins. As the world heads for food shortages in the next century insects can help meet humanity's growing nutritional needs. Creepy Crawly Cuisine includes an overview of the use of edible insects by indigenous cultures, information on where to obtain them, how to store and prepare them, and over 60 recipes. As practical as it is unique, Creepy Crawly Cuisine may be the ideal gift for cooks who think they have seen it all.
