The Cricket Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Adding this Sustainable Protein to your Diet.
Crickets, touted as a superfood and the food of the future, offer immense nutritional and environmental benefits, yet many struggle to find ways to cook them. In the Cricket Cookbook, two Oregon based cricket farmers explain how to incorporate crickets into the foods you are already eating while offering original recipes that will please any dinner guest. Compiled from thousands of hours working with crickets both on the farm and in the kitchen, this is more than a cookbook but a complete and refreshingly candid resource on crickets. Asides from offering over 25 recipes and numerous suggested pairings, the Cricket Cookbook discusses the techniques of seasoning crickets, the merits of different cricket products such as cricket flour and frozen crickets, the benefits—both for your health and for the health of the planet—of eating crickets, and a whole bunch more.
Authors Austin Miller and Zoe Anton are the founders of Craft Crickets, Oregon’s first licensed food grade cricket farm. In 2015, they both quit their day jobs, looking for a project that would better their health and the planet’s health. They decided to farm crickets. As two neophytes to the world of bugs, they quickly found cricket farming to be easier than they expected. The difficult part was convincing people that crickets aren’t just a responsible food but a tasty food. They repeatedly heard customers say, “I like the idea of crickets. I want to eat crickets. But I don’t know how to eat crickets.†This cookbook is meant to help all those who want to learn not only how to start building crickets into their diet but also to understand why crickets are quickly becoming the responsible protein for the Western kitchen.
