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.
But anyways, enough with the gushy stuff. Here is how to win the cookbook:

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.
This would be amazing to win because we’ve been sort of thrust into the Paleo lifestyle due to my 16 month old daughter’s skin issues. A nutritionist has pretty much suggested going Paleo for her and now me and my husband are getting on board as well. Having some more cookbooks like this one, especially since I want to start a Whole30 (I know her book is Whole30 approved) soon, would be fantastic!
It has been a crazy battle with my overweight parents to get them to eat more primal and leave sugary and carb filled foods behind. My boyfriend owns a copy of Well Fed and boy, IT IS GOOD. If I win the copy, I will share it with my parents who LOVE ethnic food with lots of taste, so I am sure they will not be able to get out of this one! GO PALEO!!
I’d love to win this cookbook because everything I’ve made from PaleOMG has been fantastic, I love everything about your blog, so I can only imagine how amazing this cookbook is! Also, I have a few friends and family members that are interested in going paleo and I’d love to share the recipes/cook for them to show the real reason why I eat paleo–because everything tastes so damn good.
I liked TCMTG on Facebook…and after years finally caved to open a Twitter account…yes, just now to follow @Melicious11 and @paleOMG…Crazy perhaps, but I’m not sure what else screams “pick me! pick me!” better than that!
Thanks for doing the giveaway, I’m excited to come across TCMTG for the first time. A quick look (Moroccan bastila and Pad Thai?!) makes me confident that my global food-inspired soul will be well fed regardless 🙂
Wow! A giveaway! I will plead my case by noting that I have been eating paleo for over 2 years now, but still do not own a paleo cookbook. I just use your website and a few others.
I have liked her fb page. I have recently gone paleo and enjoy it but need more great recipes
I am about 2 months in to living paleo and I LOVE your blog! I would love to have a copy of “Well Fed” because I am in the process of transitioning my 3 kids (and hubs) and I need some help! There are really only so many times you can make “ants on a log’ and turkey rolls ups without someone jumping ship and haulin’ it to the drive through (that may or may not have happened…tonight.)
Hooray for cooking that doesn’t gunk up the works.
I’ve been lurking on paleo blogs for literally forever, but it’s been super hard to jump into it. I love the way PaleoOMG presents paleo, and any rec of yours is sure to be phenomenal! 😀
My husband and I are just now starting to eat a paleo diet. This cookbook would be perfect for us!!
Hello! I would love to win this cookbook! I’m always looking for new ideas. Love your website and thank you for hosting this giveaway!
🙂
