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.
I would love to win Well Fed because although I’ve been paleo for over a year and a half, my family is still resistant to the idea. I would love to be able to cook with my family and show that that healthy food can taste good, too! There are so many family traditions that revolve around food, and I’ve had to exclude myself from many of them, but with this cookbook, we can start new traditions, and my mom and sister and I can create new meals that the whole family would enjoy. I have tons of cookbooks that I can no longer use because they are all based on SAD, but this book, which is Whole30 approved, would be a great way to jump start my family into a healthy lifestyle.
I would love to win this cookbook. Starting on the Paleo journey for my stomach issues I’ve been battling for years!!!
I would love to win a copy of this book. I am trying to find the motivation to change my SAD and start following a Paleo lifestyle. It’s a bit overwhelming and having tools (like a fabulous cookbook) help immensely.
I just keep thinking that I have to go all “The Hunger Games” on this comment and say something that will make you remember me!
In reality, I am a Mother of 2 who needs all the variety and ideas she can get to keep a 5 year old and 2 year old eating paleo right along with their Father and me!!
Melissa’s blog is awesome and so is yours so if you say her book is awesome it must be off the effing charts and I want it!
Hope to hear from you soon 🙂
I absolutely love Melissa’s recipes and would LOVE to have this book to add to my collection! 🙂
I LOVE this give away! I am a daily reader of both paleomg.com and theclothesmakethegirl.com! Making this the best combination of awesomeness! I would love to add this cookbook to my kitchen to help shake things up for dinner 🙂
well, day one was supposed to start today. #fail so i really need the book, i have been thinking about buying it for the past month.
I have just started eating Paleo style and I’ve seen HuGE results in my body and energy. I’ve been following Melissa for a little while now and would love this book to expand my knowledge and learn to cook an even greater variety of foods!
Just finished reading It Starts with Food. Ordering Practical Paleo today. Finished Primal Blueprint. Well Fed would be a great addition to my growing library of Paleosity. Will use the recipes only for awesome and for feeding my new little cave baby grandson.
I am always looking for new Paleo recipes. One of the problems I tend to have is that I eat the same things over and over again. I’ve already found a bunch of good recipes on “The Clothes Make the Girl” so I’m sure this will be a great addition to my library.
Thanks!
