Bake Sales Are My B*tch by April Peveteaux
Living the food allergy life and having a kid who can't have dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, or soy is not easy. And neither is worrying about accommodating all the food requirements at a play date. From avoiding major food allergens and respecting food preferences like vegetarian or vegan to being aware of religious practices like keeping kosher, making a simple snack resembles navigating a minefield. Thankfully, Bake Sales Are My B*tch is here to help. April Peveteaux's fifty-plus recipes cover the eight major food allergens and everything from school lunches, kids parties, sleepover foods, after-school snacks, and, yes, bake sales. In Bake Sales Are My B*tch, she gets into the nitty-gritty of food allergies, from deadly serious reactions to how to deal with those who don't take your kid's allergy seriously. Whether you're a freaked-out parent or not, Peveteaux lends some much-needed guidance and teaches you to make party foods that'll be a surefire hit.
“Bake Sales Are My B*tch should be required reading for any parent or caregiver of a school-age child, as it expertly—and quite humorously—spells out what's it's like living with the serious, constant fear of a life-and-death allergy attack while so many others laugh it away or simply don't "believe" allergies are a big dealPevetaux brings the same hilarious, no-nonsense stories and tales that made Gluten Is My B*tch feel as if you're just hanging out with a good friend—combined with some seriously yum recipes to boot! Buy it. Eat it. Love it.”
