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’d love to own this cookbook! The recipes on her site are awesome and the tone everything is written in is extremely engaging!
I already like her on FB and I have previewed this cookbook and would love to win it!
I’m new to Paleo (this is my third week!), so I’d really love some new ideas about what to cook… ones tasty enough to convince my husband to join. 🙂
I would love to win this cookbook because I am obsessed with finding new amazing paleo recipes through pinterest, blogs, etc. I would enjoy a nice hard copy version so my ipad can stop getting splattered with bacon grease and coconut oil.
I would love this cookbook because I love all things Paleo and I love to cook. I am constantly in search of new and exciting recipes to try and this would be a great reference for me 🙂
Liked Facebook – no problem cuz I do. Commenting here – no problem. I don’t have Twitter…..can I still enter!? Please, pretty please – insert begging here! I would really enjoy this book for my new journey.
Hi!!! Thanks so much for the giveaway, first if all!
I would absolutely love to win this cookbook because I have been trying very hard to be a clean -and as close to paleo as possible- eater… However my mom sometimes makes things that aren’t very paleo, so you can imagine how much harder that makes it! But she likes to cook and I think having this book would really motivate her to cook these delicious and healthy paleo recipes!! Not only would it be great for me but for my whole family. And I can even start to cook up some things by myself to get started on cooking food I love haha 🙂
Thanks again!
Need some paleo cookbooks now that I should donate all my old school non paleo cookbooks!
I love your blog. I love Melissa’s blog. I love paleo, cooking, and new recipes. EASY.
I am feeling great on Paleo but want some new recipes. I like to look at books to while cooking reminds me of my Mom doing it old school.
