Intrigued by its traditional practice as well as by its potential for sustainability if expanded to a large scale, since that time I have never passed up an opportunity to learn more about it.

Thus, when Aaron Dossey, author of the new book Insects as Sustainable Food Ingredients from Elsevier, sent me a press release about it, I was most certainly intrigued. While I ordinarily don’t write news entries about books I haven’t yet had the opportunity to read or at least peruse first hand, after having read the free PDF of the first chapter, I was left confident that it is indeed a book worthy of mention.
