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.
Melissa’s cookbook is on my list of books to buy so that would be super sweet to win a copy! If not, I’ll definitely be buying it. 🙂
Because my friend said “Paleo meals are always boring” and I love proving people wrong. >:)
Because I want to continue wowing all my friends with new, fun, and healthy recipes! But mainly because I am somewhat new to crossfit and the paleo lifestyle and I am loving it! Pick me!!!
I really, really, really want this cookbook… plain and simple… thanks 🙂
I’ve followed Melissa’s journal since 2010 and she has been nothing but inspiring. Whether it’s a get-to-know-you blog entry with her readers, sharing her struggles and accomplishments in the gym, “smupdates”, or just random musings, she always makes me smile. It’s her motivation to keep pushing herself and reach new goals that encourage me to seek the same within myself. Having the privilege of owning Well Fed would not only add a *squee* to my voice but all the more inspiration to my kitchen. It’s a faster and even more intimate way for me to connect with her as I’ll have a hands-on opportunity to try her dishes as I’m not always able to print everything out from her site. Thanks for the opportunity!
I liked the page on Facebook, but I don’t have Twitter, so I hope Facebook alone is good enough! I would love to win this cookbook. I’ve been hearing lots of good things about it so I would LOVE to try the recipes 🙂
Been doing a modified paleo diet for a while now and think Melissa’s Well Fed cookbook would provide just the inspiration needed to keep me on track and get even more committed to this way of eating. So far I’ve enjoyed her blog recipes, and love that she uses such wonderful spices and unique combinations of things!
I love Melissa’s site and would love to have her cookbook!
p.s. nice to discover your blog too!!! ~ via your giveaway announced on Mel’s The Clothes Make the Girl facebook page! 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win, I would so love to have this cookbook!
