Edible Insect Dinner

During my final year of Uni, I worked on a research project examining dietitian’s knowledge attitudes and practices of entomophagy aka eating insects! While my dietitian brain was getting excited about the nutritional pros of whole and processed bugs, my chef brain started ticking along with how you make insects 1. Delicious and 2. Acceptable. This process was a lot of fun and during my final presentation, I fed (or attempted to feed) my co-students a fried cricket and mealworm lavosh canape!

Fast forward to Wednesday night, @Dannyelle Formosa, @Nicole Senior, @Jane Marriott, and myself sat down to dinner hosted by The Powerhouse Museum where edible insects took centre stage!
