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 eating paleo and what it has done for me and my boyfriend. But sometimes, I feel like I’m just making the same thing over and over and I would like some inspiration in the kitchen. And let my first comment on your blog include this: thanks for being fun, non-judgmental, and interesting. This in one of the few paleo blogs I can go to without drowning in self-righteousness. Juli, you’re AWESOME!
I would love to have the cookbook because like you, i’m trying to find a paleo, crossfitting man. Perhaps this is old fashioned, but I think learning how to cook would really, really help me with that mission! Dating in the midwest is kinda hard when boys think i’m a pansy who doesn’t eat good food because the only thing that’s reasonable to order on a date is grilled chicken and broccoli!
I am new to paleo, so I would love to have a cookbook full of great recipes to try!
I would love to win this cookbook to get some new Paleo food inspiration!
I’ve heard so many amazing things about eating Paleo, and now that I’m finally enjoying cooking and making healthy meals, I am ready to try the paleo way and I know that this book would help me tremendously!
I love her blog and am done with one week of my whole30. I’d love to have a quick go to sitting on my countertop! This book would be perfect for that.
I would love the chance to win this paleo cookbook, not only to find more inspiration from paleo foods for myself, but also to find recipes that people not eating a paleo diet still find awesome. I have found a bunch here on your website and i want even more!!! I want to take this cookbook back to college with me and hopefully inspire the people around me to eat cleaner and what better way than by making irresistibly good, clean food right in front of them?
thanks to you and melissa for your generosity! I can’t wait till August 12th!
Always looking for a new twist on Paleo. You can never have enough good food to share with everyone 🙂
Pinterest only takes a girl so far and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to devour this book!
I’ve been leaning more and more Paleo for almost a year now, and the results have been very positive. Always looking for more ideas/information to make it easier and more interesting.
Also, my wife (who has various daily-debilitating health conditions) can see the concepts and the benefits, but is having a *much* harder time with the idea of “giving up” pastas and breads and such, and the more food and recipe options we/she can have to work with the more likely she’ll give the whole thing a real try. So…
