Gluten is my Bitch: Rants, Recipes, and Ridiculousness for the Gluten-Free

by April Peveteaux

Overview

A brutally honest, deliciously irreverent, and “highly entertaining” guide to living a happy, healthy, gluten-free life—with twenty new recipes (New Yorker).

As the eighteen million gluten-intolerants and three million celiac disease sufferers in the United States can attest, living gluten-free isn’t always easy—nor it is a lot of fun. Good thing author April Peveteaux has at least managed to make it funny. Known to many as the Chelsea Handler of the gluten-free set, April employs her unique sense of humor to provide the perfect guide to navigating a gluten-free life. In addition to her hysterical wisdom, she offers 40 gluten-free comfort food recipes that will make even the most frustrated gluten-intolerant smile with relief.

Editorial Reviews

A lot of books about this have a morose or scientific bent, so it’s nice to see someone who’s rightfully irritated by the situation and writes about it with some irony. When your food life is boring, you need humor.

Tony-nominated playwright Sarah Ruhl

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.
