Tokyo insect-chef pens cookbook you will never, ever need

this tofu is crunchy!

Thanks to Yoichi Uchiyama, you’ll never again have to worry about how to properly prepare Argentine cockroaches to serve at your next dinner party. After all, is there anything more embarrassing than serving an undercooked cockroach to your spouse’s boss? Yes: overcooking the maggots!

How To Cook InsectsUchiyama runs an insect-cooking blog written in some crazy, made-up language (here’s a Google-translated version), and now he’s put his kitchen experience into print.

His blog is infested (ha, get it?) with pics of various bug recipes he’s invented, as well as photos of people who have sampled his food. (They all look like students on field trips, not surprisingly.) Click through for more mouth-watering photos.
