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.

Because I’m obsessive about collecting cookbooks and since most of my previous ones are food I no longer eat…I need to beef up my collection with this.
I have heard great things about the Well Fed cookbook and I love Melissa’s blog! I’m doing the Whole30 right now (Day 6!) and it would be great to have some more recipes to add to my arsenal.
I would love this cookbook. I have been eating paleo for about 60 days and it is amazing. I am slimmer and fitting into clothes I have not worn for over 1 year!
I don’t have a twitter, but I liked on FB… who doesn’t need a great Paleo cookbook? I am always on the search for more delicious inspiration!!!
I started crossfitting in January because I wanted to get my body back, and because it fits my personality – intense. I heard about the Paleo diet from other crossfitters and thought they were nuts – no grains? no dairy? Well, I found out in April of this year I have been suffering from systemic candida for the past three years and have no choice but to eat a paleo like diet for the rest of my days. I would love to have this book because I am tired of eating meat and veggies for every meal. I need some awesome recipes to make me feel good and happy that I can’t eat any more refined sugar, which I am absolutely powerless over, btw. I need some awesomeness and this would do it 🙂
I’ve liked ‘The Clothes Make The Girl’ on Facebook and now I’ll share why I’d love a copy. After having my son and a divorce, I started doing CrossFit. With that came Paleo. It’s really changed my life. After a traumatic military experience, I had been medicated for anxiety, but with the help of Paleo and CrossFit, I’m not med-free!!!
I’ve been wanting this book for a while, but keep putting off until ‘the next paycheck.’ 😀
I need the book because my husband and kids (ages 1 and 3) are counting on me to make delicious foods for them and since I am a stay at home mom, I’m poor!
I’d LOVE new ways to cook paleo and new ideas to try on my family.
i NEED this book to keep making creating recipes for my family. They are getting bored of plain old steak and chicken 🙂
