Books like Edible by Daniella Martin
Edible examines the growing practice of entomophagy, arguing that insects offer an efficient and sustainable food source. Daniella Martin travels to Thailand’s government‑subsidized cricket farms, visits Dutch research labs funded with a €4 million grant, and interviews chefs such as José Andrés who already incorporate bugs into upscale dishes. She also profiles Monica Martinez’s all‑bug street‑food cart, illustrating how entomophagy is moving from traditional diets to contemporary culinary innovation. The book challenges readers’ preconceptions and highlights the environmental benefits of insect-based nutrition.

Edible Economics brings the sort of creative fusion that spices up a great kitchen to the often too-disciplined subject of economics
For decades, a single, free-market philosophy has dominated global economics. But this intellectual monoculture is bland and unhealthy.
Bestselling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang makes challenging economic ideas delicious by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world, using the diverse histories behind familiar food items to explore economic theory. For Chang, chocolate is a lifelong addiction, but more exciting are the insights it offers into postindustrial knowledge economies; and while okra makes Southern gumbo heart-meltingly smooth, it also speaks of capitalism’s entangled relationship with freedom.
Myth-busting, witty, and thought-provoking, Edible Economics serves up a feast of bold ideas about globalization, climate change, immigration, austerity, automation, and why carrots need not be orange. It shows that getting to grips with the economy is like learning a recipe: when we understand it, we can adapt and improve it—and better understand our world.
