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’ve fallen off the Paleo Wagon a bit this summer and need some good recipes to kick my ass back into shape.
Thanks for the opportunity 🙂
I’d love to win because I need new recipe ideas for being grain-free!
I would love to haev this cookbook because I am a working mom of 3 (one being only 2 months old!) and I just switched the entire family over to paleo. We need to be eating and living healthier lives and I want to instill good eating habits in my kiddos! I love your blog and am always looking for more recipes!
I am religious about Paleo and am so thankful it has come into my life. After only 6 months on Paleo my father no longer needs medication for his high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or EVEN his diabetes. I’m constantly looking for easy things for him to make and this cookbook would be an excellent edition.
I recently went to my dr.s nurse practitioner for some diet pills…he said he didnt do pills but if I gave him the opportunity he would teach me how to lose weight with food and exercise…so he explained this “plan” to me and wrote it all down and said I could lose 20lbs in two months..hmmm very skeptical..so I come home and see a post from you and I look at your website like I do often and started noticing similarities in what I just heard from him!!! So I email him and ask if it’s the paleo plan..and he said YES!! So, I have been doing the plan he wrote down now I just need some recipes!!! Would love to have your cookbook!! Oh and I love your dancing!!! 🙂 lol you have sooo much energy!!! I also joined our area YMCA and hope I can have as much energy as you!! Thanks!!
I just went Paleo in April, so I struggle sometimes with inspiration for weeknight meals. This cookbook would be a great help.
After being a vegetarian for 18 years I made the switch to meat 2 months ago and found following paleo blogs/websites/googling recipes super supportive and inspirational. I feel physically and mentally better than I have in years and would love a new cookbook to teach me more about cooking the delicious meats I’ve finally “discovered”!!
This cookbook looks like it would be a great tool as a beginner paleo cook, and it will help me convert my guy. He’s beginning to see the wisdom with each yummy recipe I whip up!
I have been transitioning to a Paleo lifestyle. The recipes on your blog have been a wonderful gift! This book would be a great help. I feel so much better when eating Paleo!
i would absolutely love to have this cookbook, as a working/in-school mom of two littleboys (1and3), i need all the help I can get to keep up with my active lifestyle and newfound love of the paleo eating lifestyle!!
