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 desperately need this book because I cook for all my lazy friends and need to expand my repertoire. Not that JB hasn’t done an excellent job of making everyone scream with delight….. xoxo!
I LOVE paleo and love your blog JB! I can’t wait to go out and add this cookbook to my other paleo collection. Thanks for being awesome 🙂
The Clothes Make the Girl is one of the first blogs I ever started following when I began paleo. I love all her recipes, and having her cookbook would make a nice physical accompaniment to her site!
Both of my parents have tried many diets recently but haven’t experienced much success. I am in the process of trying to convince my family to make the switch to paleo, one of their excuses is the lack of “delicious food”. I would love this cookbook so that I could show them all the many delicious possibilities that paleo has to offer and give them the lifestyle and health they deserve…cheers and awsome blog!
I’ve been paleo myself for a while, but the book wouldn’t be for me as much as it would be for my father. I would consider myself a health and fitness nut, but my family has always struggled with obesity and healthy eating. I can’t force healthy eating on my dad, especially since food and cooking is a passion of his and something he spends a lot of his free time doing, but I want to be able to offer him this as an alternative. A book that will introduce him to paleo recipes in a more advanced, eclectic culinary light may be the wake up call he needs to see that he can still creatively cook while using healthier, whole foods.
I would love to have this book because I am just getting started with the Paleo lifestyle. It would be wonderful having new recipes to try!
I’m a paleo newbie and this would be so helpful!
I need this cook book, I am just begining on this journey and feel a bit confused and overwhelmed with my food options.
Thank you

To be short and sweet, I’m new to paleo and seriously need help coming up with new recipes to cook while working full time and still cooking healthy for the family.
I’ve enjoyed her recipes for a long time now and it would be awesome to have a real book!
