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.

Disclaimer (I like that word):
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 have this cookbook so that I can have more references and ideas of how to continue improving my eating habits and keep feeding my body what it needs. It would also be a great tool to have to show my family and friends how to feed their body in a more healthier way and see that they dont have to go to extremes to do it.
I would love the book because we are always trying to convert more of our meals to paleo! The more paleo recipes the better
SO excited about this giveaway! I just started the WHOLE 30 today & love it. My biggest issue is finding recipes that are okay for both my boyfriend & myself! He feels deprived if he doesn’t have rice with every meal while I on the other hand.. well, you follow a paleo lifestyle. You know how that goes! Fingers Crossed!!
Why do I want to win this book? Lot’s of reasons: I am a paleo nut! I would love to try some new recipes. AND to be honest…I have never won anything in my life:(
I have been a Paleo gal for a few years now I did Whole 30 to start on the path, just like Clothes Make the Girl is doing right now- had a bit of bump staying on track when I got sick in May – its been a long haul since but I’m getting there! I could really use an incentive right about now and a copy of Well Fed would certainly qualify as one!
Show some East Cost love and pick me as the winner for Well Fed! I would religiously try every single recipe and report back my findings as input for Well Fed – Chapter Two!
I’m currently in search of my first “paleo book” to read and I’d love it to be this one! I suffer from chonic digestive distress that no doctor has been able to treat. Paleo is my next attempt at something resembling health. Please. 🙂
I love Melissa’s culinary sense and would love to have one of her books! Melicious rocks!
Totally intrigued… I’m trying to buckle down with Paleo and most definitely need some tasty, creative help in the recipe department! And super bonus points if they happen to be recipes I can coerce my husband and kids into eating too!
I would totes LOVE TO WIN this cookbook b/c my boyfriend has recently gotten me into CrossFit and started eating Paleo and this cookbook would be a #rad addition to this lifestyle change!!
