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 found out I am allergic to all grains and dairy. I have stumbled upon paleo on my search for “whatever can i eat with these allergies?”. I have been searching for recipes and anything I can find about paleo. I came upon the whole9 and their whole30 and have heard that the cookbook to have is well fed. Well I am disabled and literally have 0 income so I cannot afford to buy your recipe book. For my birthday I have recieved the It Starts With Food and would love your book to compliment the whole30 and help me on having variety. I asked for your book for my birthday also, but I guess they went with the cheaper of the two books. I love ISWF, and know that I would love your book also. Please pick me.
I am obsessed with food, but get frustrated with cooking. I’m new to paleo and looking for fun, yummy recipes to keep my love affair with food strong!
I read and lurk on your blog frequently, yet hardly ever leave comments. And now there’s a free book and I make sure to comment. How tacky is that?
I do love your blog, though, both your funny written content and the delicious recipes. This would be the first ever Paleo cookbook to join my collection in the kitchen! I want something to show friends and family when they inquire about what I eat. And I could always, always use new ideas for menu planning.
I found her Mayo recipe online and I want to be buried in it when I die. I wouldn’t mind if there was a little Cumin and cilantro added either. I would love love love this book as I am always searching her site for recipes. My poor computer doesn’t like to be in the kitchen when I’m cooking. I need this DINO CHOW BOOK!!!
I started Paleo a few months back and was turned on to your website by one of my fellow boot campers. I love all of your recipes and look forward to making something new each day. My two boys and husband enjoy all of your things too! Thanks for a great website for amazing food!!
I borrowed Well Fed from my local library, but unfortunately they made me return it so I would love to have a copy of my own. Thanks for the give away.
1 & 2 done! Would love to win this cookbook. My husband and I have been following Paleo for 6 months now and would love to have a book of recipes, especially one that I have heard so many good reviews about!
P.S Juli, you should totally put all of your recipes into a cookbook, they are great!
I love to eat the Paleo way! Your recipes are great and I was getting bored with the cookbook I have. I love your blog and am excited to have Melissa’s cook book!!! Feeling great the Paleo way!!
I would LOVE this cookbook! I am starting my first Whole30, and my husband and I are trying to collect as many resources as we can get our hands on to make it a successful experience!
I would love to win because it would be an awesome treat for my birthday (August 13). I love Mel’s blog and would really love to be able to curl up with Well Fed.
