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.
..because I’ve been eating unhealthy far too long and I would love to use it as a reference and set an example for my patients that eating paleo is much healthier than the carb loaded food pyramid encouraged by most healthcare providers.
Like The Clothes Make the Girl on Facebook and I want to win this cookbook because I’m a coobook addicted! Love from Italy!
I would love to have some paleo recipes that other folks would enjoy, as opposed to the mess I usually throw together for myself!
I need this cookbook! I’m in a cooking rut and I need to get out!
Oh I want to win this cookbook for so many reasons! I love cooking but I am a high school student so I don’t have a lot of time to browse recipes/ do fancy cooking during the school year. A book filled with easy recipes for everyday and more complicated recipes for days I have more time would be amazing! Besides, reading cookbooks is really fun… xD
I would love to win this cookbook! You make it sound brilliant, so even if I don’t win, I will definitely go check it out. I could always use more ideas on paleo things to cook 🙂 Thanks!!!
Super interested in paleo lifestyle – would love a user-friendly resource such as the Well Fed Cookbook!!! Pick Me!
I would LOVE to win this cookbook! I am also a huge fan of Melissa… as an awesome human being and awesome Paleo blogger. Would be super excited to try and share these recipes!
I would LOVE to have this cookbook too. I have celiac and am extreeeeeemly gluten intolerant so I never eat out or in someone else’s kitchen. Luckily, I like to cook so that helps. However, since going paleo to help heal even further, I am really struggling with meals! It’s hard to figure out what to make, and to find a variety of foods and tastes to be satisfied. The cookbook would help a great deal. THANK YOU!
I go to both you and Melissa’s website for receipe ideas. You both do a great job! We have been Paleo since Feb. and have had great results. Our friends and family have joined in on the Paleo fun and changed the way they eat too! I never understood the power of food and how it can make you look and feel until I went Paleo. Not only did my workouts improve but my every day energy did too!! I would LOVE to win a copy of Melissa’s book to try new receipes and cook them for my friends and family!!
