Description

Living gluten-free is not a whole lot of fun, but at least April has managed to make it funny. Gluten Is My Bitch is a brutally honest, entertaining look at what living a gluten-free life entails. As an antidote to the tragic news that, no, you will never eat regular donuts again, April provides 40 gluten-free comfort food recipes and a bonus 20 new recipes in the paperback edition that will make even the most frustrated gluten-intolerant smile with relief. In the new paperback, April addresses the challenges of sustaining a gluten-free lifestyle once you've transitioned from the gluten-filled world. With updated resources and brand-new recipes for everyday meals, the paperback offers a complete look at living gluten-free for life.

Reviews

Highly entertaining. * New Yorker *
April Peveteaux has somehow managed to turn her celiac disease diagnosis into a memoir, guide, and gluten-free cookbook that inspires as much laughter as cookery. * Chicago Tribune *
On paper, she has a witty, side-splitting humor like Tina Fey. In person, she radiates a palpable compassion that fills a room. * Austin Chronicle *
A lot of books about this have a morose or scientific bent, so its nice to see someone whos rightfully irritated by the situation and writes about it with some irony. When your food life is boring, you need humor. * Sarah Ruhl, Tony-nominated playwright *
