Gluten For Punishment: Just Desserts for the Heartbroken, Lovesick, and Jilted
by Julie Seyler
Decades of Disaterous Dates… soothed by Delicious Desserts.
ABOUT THE BOOK
“A must read! I found myself laughing as well as crying… Raw, Riveting, Real, Revealing, Relatable, Rousing.”
“Julie serves up humor, insight, and dessert in equal measures — reminding us that even with the perfect ‘recipe’ you can’t always create the perfect dish or relationship.”
“If you’re looking for a book that is as emotionally satisfying as it is delicious, this memoir is a must-read.”
Julie Seyler’s love life has been a recipe for disaster—and she has the baked goods to prove it.
In this humorous and heartfelt collection, beloved baking blogger Julie Seyler shares stories of love, loss, and everything in between—accompanied by her signature dessert recipes—in one irresistible, gluten-filled volume.
Whether she’s arriving home after an awkward first date or seeking comfort once a promising relationship goes up in flames, Julie knows exactly where to turn when things go awry: the kitchen. And after three decades spent dating a cast of brooding, complicated Gen X creatives, her recipe box is overflowing—even while her bed remains empty.
From frustrating flings with the emotionally unavailable to an unflinching exploration of the love that lingers after tragedy, Gluten for Punishment is a wry and honest reminder that while relationships are rarely predictable, a sweet ending always awaits in the kitchen.
Recipes include 5-minute peanut butter mousse, Cape Breton-Style Oatcakes, and Czech Kolache among others.
