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.

I’d love to try this cookbook. I’ve been feeling the need to change my diet as well as my family’s. I got interested in Paleo when I came across it researching my young son’s gluten allergy and looking for gluten free recipes. I’m definitely interested in trying it out. Thanks for the opportunity!

I would LOVE this cookbook because I’m trying to incorporate more paleo food in my diet and I’m gluten intolerant, which is another reason I love paleo recipes!
This book would be a great addition to my Paleo resources! My fiance and I have been exploring Paleo for about a month now and am interested in trying these recipes!
I’ve been Paleo for awhile now, but I love trying out new recipes to keep things interesting.
I would LOVE to win this cook book because we are constantly trying to vary our paleo meals and are somewhat newer to it and this would be a great help. I LOVE your blog. You have a great sense of humor, and it really shows in your writing. You really make it interesting. We just made your Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf last night. YUMMO. Looking for a dessert recipe now. Thanks again for such a great blog!
i am actually having a paleo cook party this weekend and showing people all the great food you have on your blog. i have been eating paleo since January and absolutely love the food and the way i feel. i would love to have new recipes to try and share with my friends at crossfit tahlequah.
Hey Fellow Denverite! Thanks for doing this. Even if I don’t win, the book looks interesting to pick up. I’m just trying to eat/live healthier and reverse some of the evil I’ve done to my bod. This looks like a good tool to help!
what a great cookbook! I just started living more of a paleo lifestyle and this cookbook would be great for new recipes!
