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 just started eating paleo. I love cooking and new recipes (how I found your blog) and would looovvveee to win the cookbook!
I love to eat!
I would love to win this cookbook as I am new to Paleo eating. I started Paleo eating as a way to help me avoid all of my allergies and food intolerances!! So far I’ve been hunting blogs and sites for recipes but it would be so nice to have a book to go to!!
I’ve been crossfitting since Feb and have certainly struggled with the Paleo “lifestyle”….why is chocolate so good?! I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and check back everyday, love the recipes and…well you! lol
Liked her on FB!
I discovered your blog when searching for yummy & simple paleo friendly desserts and found your fudge recipe! OMG I made 3 batches then had to tell myself to STOP! I started the paleo lifestyle in May and have really enjoyed it. Many of your recipes I have tried and simply love. Cannot wait to try the Creamy Avocado & Spinach Chicken Pasta – probably this week! Anyway, I have turned many on to your blog – you are “real” and I love that! Hope you are enjoying your vacation!
I NEED this cookbook! I have a 15 year old daughter who wants to start eating paleo. We already eat pretty clean, but beans, dairy and rice are HUGE staples in our house. This cookbook might convince me to become paleo.
I’m working on my first Whole30 after reading ISWF and would love some more recipe ideas/inspiration!
I follow Melissa’s blog as well, and love everything I’ve made from there so far!
I would love to win Well Fed! I currently only have one Paleo cook book and am looking to add more. Every new great recipe just makes it that much easier to love this way of eating!
I’m also hosting a giveaway on my blog this week for another book…!
I’d love to win this cookbook because I’ve been really making an effort to have a paleo-focused diet lately, and there really are only so many ways I can cook bacon. 😀
