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 love Paleo! I love the Whole30! I love cookbooks made out of paper! I need new recipes too. Thank you for doing this. 🙂
I want (and need) Well Fed because I have this little problem with food porn. I love cookbooks, just can’t afford them!! Also hope to leave it on coffee table to inspire my non-Paleo eating family. Slackers…. (Like both y’all…. haven’t started tweeting)
I must admit, I already have this cookbook. But as the unofficial paleo guru at my CF box, I would love to give it to the winner of our current Whole45 challenge going on right now. Thanks for the opportunity! http://www.redstickcrossfit.com 🙂
All done 🙂 I have heard great things about this book! I am very new to the paleo lifestyle. I am enjoying how I feel on it, but it is definitely a struggle for me since I am not a very good cook and not very creative 😉
Good Luck on your first giveaway!
I LOVE Mel and her efforts to put out a cookbook. I haven’t had the cash to buy it yet but would love get one free from this giveaway.
By the way, I think PaleoOMG is rockin’ cool too. I’m making your cinnamon chipotle sliders tonight. 😀
We are fairly new to Paleo after being vegetarians for almost 10 years. Thanks for the giveaway! cokelush at gmail
I forgot to say I’m a fan of TCMTG on fb. 🙂
If I win this book, I will carry it with me everywhere and take pictures with it in all locations. Travelocity got nothing on me!
I would love to win this cookbook. I am just beginning to eat Paleo and need some ideas for new recipes! The more recipes the easier I can plan my meals for my stupid busy life!
I love your blog and Melissa’s blog. I have seen her book through fellow crossfitters and have heard nothing but rave reviews about Well Fed. I would love to add this book to my growing collection of recipes printed from your blog 🙂
I am just getting into paleo and looking for new and exciting recipes to try. I found your website and have been trying some of your recipes. Yum and Double Yum!!! Thanks so much for all that you do to help those of us just starting out figure out what to cook and how to eat Paleo!
