Eatin' Bugs: A Cicada Cookbook - Jenna Jadin

On the United States' East Coast, adult Brood II cicadas are emerging from the ground to briefly inhabit local trees, reproduce and die. The well-timed emergence from their earthen tunnels can overwhelm towns with their drone-like vibrations. But Jenna Jadin recommends a way to deal with that: by eating them. She made a cookbook, Cicadalicious, for a 2004 cicada emergence. She has updated the book to incorporate current food trends, like cicada banh mi and candied cicada cocktails.
