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.

Juli- I’d love to win this cookbook because I just got done with 30 days of strict Paleo and REALLY want to do it again but am feeling unmotivated because I feel like I am running out of ideas. Im a college student in AL and having a cook book to follow is so crucial for me bc I am retarded without one. HAHA. Thanks!
Holy ballsack that’s a lot of comments…
I would love this cookbook! I love Middle Eastern flavors, and really appreciate Melissa’s no sweetener, no dairy type recipes-less modifying for me!
I follow @melicious11 on Twitter, and also like on FB. I tweeted as well. I would love to win this cookbook because I am just beginning my paleo journey, and would like additional resources to help me along. Thanks!
I would love to win the cookbook so that I can stay more committed to the Paleo diet!
All done!!! Just began my Paleo journey & loving it!!
I’ve been wanting to get her book so this would be a great win!! *fingers crossed*
Love love love your posts!!! Recipes are fabulous!!!
Liked, tweeted, and I would love to have this cookbook, because I’m new to this and really need ideas for recipes! I have no idea what I’m doing and it’s rather daunting…
I would love the book to use as a new source of recipes to keep me PaleOMG excited!!!
Though I’ve been blogging in Austin for five years, and interested in the paleo diet for two and a half, I somehow just heard of Melissa’s amazing blog a couple of weeks ago, through the Food Blogger Alliance!
I recently found out, six years after my diagnosis, that people with Hashimoto’s Disease (the autoimmune form of hyopthyroidism) should avoid gluten! This has been the impetus I needed to seriously give paleo a long term try, having previously flirted with the Primal Blueprint by Mark Sisson a couple of times (and with great results – I just didn’t stick to it!).
I recently downloaded the free preview to Well Fed, and I’d love to have the whole cookbook to work from as I continue on this tasty, healthy journey. Thanks!
