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.

I am trying to get into paleo but I love food so it’s a little bit harder than I thought. This cookbook looks like a great compromise.
Ironically, my love for food has only increased after exploring Paleo because I am more fully-immersed in the sourcing and preparation process. Also, no more calorie counting!
I’m on day 7 of my Whole 30 & would love to try out some new recipes. Trying to make this a lifestyle & the new book would help! I also just love good cookbooks!
I’ve liked The Clothes Make the Girl on FB… I really want this cookbook because Melissa has some really great recipes and I can relate to her thyroid issues… very much an inspiration!
Can’t wait to try and win the cookbook!! 🙂
I would love the book. Still new to paleo and fall in that 4% who have not seen the book before.
done. done. done! I love your site. I love your headbands. I love cooking and food and dancing too (especially all at the same time) and I’m a broke grad student and would love to procure a new awesome cookbook to inspire my eats. *I also like run on sentences. thaaaanks 😀
I have over 300 “SAD” diet cookbooks that I’m getting rid of, so this cookbook would be a SWEET replacement 🙂
I would love to have more recipes- – maybe can get my husband to start eating better as well!
i would love to have this cookbook because i spend a significant amount of time online looking at paleo blogs and recipes (pretty much the only things i like on facebook, well besides hot men) and it would be nice to have something tangible to look at and hold while exploring new recipes. i dont currently own any paleo recipe books and i think melissa’s would be an excellent start to a collection 🙂
Love to get this book as in here where I am Paleo is totally new thing and no books are available. I have bought some, but you know one good cookbook is always missing I am a cookbook junky…
