She'd always lived to eat. But unless she changed her ways, her next mouthful would be a death sentence.
French Canadian Colette Ledoux loved the social connection and joie de vivre created by mealtime. And nothing pleased her more than breaking open a fresh, warm crusty loaf to pass around the table. But her passionate affair with pasta and gluten ended abruptly when she was diagnosed as a celiac and told every single grain of her favorite food group was plotting to kill her.
Reeling from that heartbreaking revelation and trying to figure out what she was supposed to eat when almost everything enjoyable was suddenly off the menu, a second diagnosis nearly did her in: Type II diabetes. The lifelong foodie found herself facing a world where the simple act of getting sustenance seemed like suicide.
Narrated in a humorous and relatable voice, Ledoux's hilarious account of her autoimmune discovery chronicles her desperate search for a way to reclaim her happiness. But in the ultimate twist, Ledoux's predicament brought her an extraordinary and unexpected truth - being forced to avoid the delicious things that could end her would lead to feeling vibrantly alive.
Broken Bread - A Gastronomic Journey into Healing is a funny and insightful memoir of one woman's odyssey from culinary crisis to savoring life. If you like quirky stories, telling it like it is, and unique adaptations of traditional French-Canadian recipes, then you'll love Colette Ledoux's recovery from a carb-laden catastrophe.
