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 would love to win the cookbook because i am trying to make my diet somewhat paleo and this would be a huge help! 🙂
I just liked Melissa on Facebook. I would love this cookbook because I just started doing some serious research into eating Paleo, even though I have been intrigued by Paleo for awhile now. I have a daughter who is almost four with a serious digestive issue that she’s had pretty much since birth (no one seems to know what is causing it or how to make it better). I am hoping that by eliminating grains, we can heal her gut and have a healthy little girl. I could use all the help I can get and I know this cookbook would help point me in the right direction. Thanks for this great giveaway! 🙂
I have been mostly paleo for about a year(ish), including one successful Whole30. I’m kind of unofficially in charge of helping the paleo newbies at my CrossFit gym. I would love to have this as a resource to share recipes and spread the love of cooking. Additionally, Melissa is a bad-ass.
Who doesn’t love a new cookbook! I would love this cookbook! I am fairly new to Paleo as well as CrossFit so any help with the food is appreciated as when I get home from my WOD I kinda want to fall into bed so having a cookbook that has all the ideas I could think of would be super helpful. I use your recipes a LOT (i have you on my phone, you’re an ap…you go to the store with me…in a non-creepy way) but any extra info is always helpful. Thanks for doing this and for providing us with your awesome recipes!!

I’d love the book because the recipes sound amazing and the Boy and I are trying to eat a lot cleaner and could use new ways to prep.
Since doing a full-month of Paleo in March and being more lenient, on-again off-again since then, I’m trying to garner up all the resources I can to stay on track! A cookbook like this would be such positive inspiration to get cooking so I’m “Well Fed,” too 🙂

As a paleo newbie, i have no idea how to make delicious dishes with natural foods such as veggies and spices! Also going to college means I’ll have to be really creative with my meals so I would REALLY appreciate a little (actually A LOT) help from a cookbook! Besides, I have to spend don’t-wanna-know-how-much amount of money on textbooks so buying a cookbook is really going to empty my bank account! :p
I have been eyeing this cookbook for a while now, would love to win it! Paleo rocks!
