illuminating. Yarrow's enthusiasm for entomophagy is pure and
irresistible and as you go on an adventure with her — a dream job,
a sweet crush, a new community — you're filled with a sense of
endless possibility. Meal also guides readers through the ancient
roots and bright future of insect-eating, not as a fad, not as a
delicacy, but as a deeply established way of cooking with a
multiplicity of meanings connecting people from all over the
world." — TEJAL RAO, New York Times columnist and James Beard Award
