Unique New Cookbook: “Cooking With Cicadas” 
COOKING WITH CICADAS by R. Scott Frothingham is a fun, cookbook with recipes for using cicadas for snacks, meals and desserts. It has been released just in time for the return of the cicadas on the eastern seaboard of the US.

This May and June, millions of cicadas that burrowed underground 17 years ago will emerge from their subterranean world. Appearing in clusters of up to 1.5 million per acre along the eastern seaboard of the United States, it is an incredible natural phenomenon.
There are a variety of ways to react to this unique occurrence. Some will study it and some will treat it as a scene from a horror movie. Northern Virginia resident Scott Frothingham prefers to treat it as a gastronomic opportunity. "If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em," says Frothingham, author of "Cooking with Cicadas" (published by FastForward Publishing).
Along with recipes such as "Cicada Frittata", "Pasta a la Cicada", "Cicada Curry" and "Caramel Cicada Crunch", this one-of-a-kind cookbook also includes information regarding cicada consumption safety and suggestions about "harvesting" this high protein, low fat ingredient. For example, "Cooking with Cicadas" suggests that female cicadas (identified by pointy abdomens) have the most "meat" and, as such, should be targeted for use in cooking.
"Eating cicadas can make people squeamish," says Frothingham, "but the cicada is an arthropod and people eat other arthropods like lobsters, shrimp and crawfish. So, maybe it will be easier for people if they think of the cicada as a 'land lobster'".
When asked if he really thinks that eating cicadas will catch on, Frothingham responds that "entomophagy" [the practice of eating insects] has been a human practice for thousands of years. "This cookbook has a strong novelty value and will be given to many people as a 'gag gift'. That being said, many people might become curious and if they do, they stand a good chance of being pleasantly surprised when they try the recipes in this little book."
Right now, "Cooking with Cicadas" is the only cicada recipe book on Amazon.com and is available both as a paperback and as a downloadable Kindle eBook.
