"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 deal. Pevetaux 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." --Mike Adamick, author of Dad's Book of Awesome Recipes, blogger at Cry It Out "As a proud parent of a child with food allergies, Bake Sales are my B*tch, had me at the title page. Little did I know I would laugh until I myself broke out in hives. Literally. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard while reading a book. April Peveteaux's hysterical allergen-ifesto isn't just a book for parents of kids with food allergies, it's for anyone who has ever accidentally served the wrong appetizer at a holiday party or judged another parent for their peanut paranoia. Yes, person who just rolled their eyes, I'm talking to you. You will love this book as much as I did. Swear." --Rebecca Woolf, blogger at Girl Gone Child, and author of Rockabye: From Wild to Child "Having a child with food allergies is challenging. Allergy moms need support to keep going, and a laugh every now and then to keep from killing people. Bake Sales Are My B*tch is the best allergy mom book EVAH! It's funny and educational and easy for anyone to pick up and understand." --Leah Segedie, Mamavation.com

Forty million children are enrolled in elementary school in the United States and every parent of those children is affected in some way by food allergies. Even if a kid is lucky enough to be allergy- free, someone in that child's class or school or after-school program has a food allergy, whether it's peanut, tree nut, dairy, egg, or soy. Add to that food preferences, like vegetarian or vegan, and religious practices, like keeping kosher, and making a simple snack resembles navigating a minefield. Thankfully, Peveteaux, the queen of cooking and cursing, is there to help with Bake Sales Are My B*tch.
