I’m doing it. My very first giveaway. I’m so excited! I’ve never done one. But when the opportunity came up to spread the word about the Well Fed Cookbook by Melissa Joulwan of The Clothes Make the Girl, I couldn’t pass it up! If you haven’t seen her cookbook yet, which I’m guessing 96% of you have, you are missing out! Not only did Melissa self publish this book, but she did it incredibly well. The photography is magnificent, the recipes are different from what you’ll find in most paleo blogs, and her voice is wonderful. It’s an easy to read, easy to look at, and easy to love paleo cookbook, and there are definitely not enough of those out there…yet! The time and effort put into this cookbook shows and everyone should have it on their bookshelf OR sitting in the kitchen next to some bacon grease…like mine.
And one of the best things about this cookbook is that it is for all kinds of paleo eaters. If you are new to paleo and are looking to make something very simple, she has that. She talks about the importance of spices and easy ways to incorporate flavors into simple dishes. And if you are a paleo-pro, she has all kind of recipes and new ideas that will spark your interest. Ever heard of machacado? You have? Whatever. To me, it seems pretty fancy. But Melissa makes it so simple that a paleo-newb to a paleo-pro could enjoy every last bite of every recipe she has.
The Well Fed Cookbook brings the spirit of every culture into paleo cooking, and that is not something you find every day.
If there is one thing I love the most about this book, it’s that the author. Melissa is an incredibly good person. She is kind, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. When I emailed her asking a question about how she got started on the publishing train, she emailed me back within minutes. She cares for everyone and that’s a pretty amazing quality to have. I believe good things happen to good people and I hope that GREAT things happen to her.

This giveaway will end Sunday August 12th at 11:59pm Mountain Time. I will be choosing the winner(s), well, because I can. It’s my blog.
I would love this cookbook because I’m new to Paleo and I could always use new recipes/advice! I have to keep it interested for my husband and 2 year old who would rather have pizza.
I am trying to get my kid to join the paleo train with me. He is 3 and has never eaten a vegetable in his life. Today, at the farmer’s market, I bribed, lied to and manipulated him into eating bell pepper, spinach AND zucchini. I think I deserve a prize for this accomplishment. I have never been more proud of anything in my entire life. And I’m not exaggerating. Please help me keep up the deception by choosing me for the Well Fed giveaway! I love your blog. I am a dedicated follower. Back to browsing your treats — my son deserves one after today!
I already have this cookbook…but for those of you that don’t have it, it’s a must! This book changed the way I eat…this website and well fed are the two places I go first for yummy (easy) recipes!
I think you need to publish a cookbook! Your recipes are incredible!
I am new to the Paleo way of eating and LOVE your FB Page, as well as your blog & find both 2 b very informative and full of fab recipes. I would like to win this cookbook in order to help my transition to Paleo and for fab food ideas:)
Thanks a ton for this – love the info and agree with your perspective. However many others will not, so thanks for speaking up. Nice blog, well done!
I’m trying this out to see if I can cure my PCOS. It’s supposedly a genetic trait passed on by women in my family. It basically reduces your chances at given birth, acne issues, period issues, weight gain. Not an attractive thing to have I tell you. But, it makes me who I am and I’m proud of myself. However…I’ve always wanted to lose the few extra pounds I carry…and of course I want a chance at having a baby at some point in my life. I’m hoping this diet change will help me. @swanswannie
I’m on the list at the library for this book but would so love to own it! I’ve been Paleo for a few months now and am just beginning to get my kids into it as well (hubby is slowly trailing behind….). Yours is my favorite blog and am always finding myself pointing out something or other to my 14 y.o. daughter. 🙂
I have heard great reviews about the book I am new to Paleo and could use the cookbook.
