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.
This would be awesome to have!! I may have to open a twitter account just for this!!
Can’t wait to try all the recipes that are in it. The ones on the website are great and bringing some new things into the mix is always good.
I started introducing myself to Paleo recently, and have felt great!! I think this would be a fantastic book to have so I can use it to help introduce my husband and children to Paleo as well.
Been doing PALEO for two and a half months, you blog makes me feel less insane esp when those chocolate or doughnut cravings hit! Thanks for writing!
I need to add to my paleo library and would this book would be a perfect addition. Not to mention I need more recipes around to get creative for the hubby since he has finally agreed to jump on board with the paleo lifestyle:)
I have to win this cookbook. Besides the fact it is my bday on the 11th (I know, who cares!), I am doing this Paleo and Crossfit thing and determined to get healthy this year. SOOOO, send it right over please!!
I would love to win this cookbook! I am always looking for good Paleo recipes for my family. I love The Clothes Make the Girl as well as PaleOMG!! I need inspiration!
I NEED this cook book! My husband was diagnosed earlier this year with a rare autoimmune this order so we are eating Paleo to help heal the gut. I have the Everyday Paleo cookbook but want this on really bad since diagnosis m husband has been off work for 6 months so not really buying extras right now but it would be helpful in his healing!
Because I have an empty ‘slot’ in my recipe shelf! But actually, I recently started incorporating a paleo diet after being heckled about my diet for a long time by really fit and healthy crossfitting men in my life. After starting crossfit, I started to cut out thing after thing and have been reading your blog and finding great recipes and fun things to experiment with. (just made the chicken nuggets and accidentally put the coconut oil IN them..and then fried them in it, too…it was a delicious mistake). I would love to have more recipes to try and love to explore in the kitchen, so this book would be real groovy! and it would be pretty cool to be the winner of your very first giveaway! Thanks!
Done and Done! I really, really hope I can win this book so I can create new and exciting recipes throughout my pregnancy!
