A Junior Library Guild Selection 2018 VLA Graphic Novel Diversity Award Winner 2019 Prism Award Winner “This fresh and tasty comic provides an enticing introduction to a less-traveled area of cuisine.” — PUBLISHERS WEEKLY "Simply delightful." — BOOK RIOT "You moved cross-country to work at a bug restaurant. There's no way I'm gonna miss what happens next." Yarrow is a young chef determined to make her mark on the cutting edge of cookery with her insect-based creations. Though her enthusiasm is infectious, it rubs some of her fellow cooks the wrong way, especially Chanda Flores, Yarrow's personal hero and executive chef of an exciting new restaurant. Her people have been eating bugs for centuries, and she's deeply suspicious of this newbie's attempt to turn her traditions into the next foodie trend. While Chanda and her scrappy team of talented devotees struggle to open on time, Yarrow must win over Chanda -- and Milani, the neighbor she's been crushing on for weeks -- or lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve her dreams. Co-written with chef and food writer Soleil Ho (Edible Manhattan, Bitch), Blue Delliquanti's sweet coming-of-age story takes us deep into a world of art, mystery, and memory on the culinary frontier.
