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 really want to change my diet and get more fit. The recipes in this book look delicious.
Just finished my first week of Paleo living and loving it. Feel better and am losing…weight that is! I have already perused “Well Fed” and have it on my list of “to buy” books. I love how Melissa has suggestions for sides and ways you can tweak the recipes. That’s what this girl needs when coming up with interesting answers to the age old question of “What’s for dinner, Mom?!?”. Winning it would be the bomb!
I would love to win this cookbook. I’m trying paleo on my road to being more healthy. I grew up in a home where eating healthy wasn’t a big deal. Now that I have a 2 year old I am try to change my eating habits, not only to help me lose weight and become more fit but, to teach my son the proper way to enjoy food.
Omg this makes me so excited! I’m a college student at the University of Arkansas (woo pig sooie!) and cookbooks are not really in my budget unfortunately so this would be an awesome one to get! My boyfriend of almost two years is paleo and about 6 months into it he convinced me to join him and I love it and follow your recipes daily for dinner ideas! Would love to get this!!
I’ve been wanting to try whole 30…and just started crossfit with som folks who could try it with me!!!
Would love to check out this cookbook! After finding out I’m gluten intolerant awhile back, Melissa’s blog was one of the first ones that I found. I love her recipes and her perspective :).
I would love this cookbook. I have heard so many good reviews about it, and with a young family I always need some good fresh ideas on how to follow this lifestyle
Congrats on your first give-away! Hehe, hopefully this will be my first win! Either way, love your blog and hope you keep all the amazing posts coming!
I am a new mom who is trying to cook Paleo for my family, and I could use all of the recipes I can get!
Why would I like to win this cookbook? Well, first of all, everyone likes to be a winner, right? Second of all, YOU are giving it away and your posts make me snort coffee out my nose on a regular basis. I still laugh when I picture you on your front porch in your jammies taking pictures of food. I eat clean, I love to cook and I love new inspiration. That’s all. The end.
