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 followed, I tweeted and now here are my reasons why I want that cookbook:
I’ve been paleoish for a couple months now (I say paleoish because I probably follow it 80% of the time). I have multiple sclerosis which I have read on numerous sites can benefit from a paleo style diet. Reading all I can when I can, I found the Whole9 website and purchased It Starts With Food hoping it would be filled with more recipes then what actually came with it. In fact, of the few recipes contained, most come from Well Fed. BTW – I was one of the 4% that hasn’t seen her book (I live under a rock if you didn’t know). We actually lost our only bookstore when Borders closed so I can’t even browse the book in person. I am always stalking blogs for new recipes but I don’t have a printer and laptops aren’t the nicest thing to have on the counter when cooking. It’s doable but just very inconvenient when your counter-space is limited. I also have a son I am raising alone and he is allergic to peanuts and dairy and eggs so I battle with him on finding healthy foods that he will actually eat. Having this book would forever change my life and benefit both myself and my son’s health. I am afraid he too might develop MS one day so the sooner I can get him converted over to the P-Side the better. Thank you for your consideration and continued generosity to all of your followers.
i did it all!
I could sure use a good paleo cookbook. I am wheat intolerant and switching over to paleo has helped me out! I feel wonderful! I hope i win.
thanks
OMG you have a lot of followers! I kept scrolling and scrolling so I could enter. I have always loved trying new recipes and need to replace all of my old (SAD) cookbooks with great new Paleo cookbooks. This would be a great addition to my collection1
I would love to have this cookbook b/c I would like to love cooking paleo meals as much as I love crossfit. Let’s be honest, I suck at cooking and could use all the help possible for this to happen. Thanks 🙂
Love Melissa and love her receipes!
I would love to have this book for I need new recipes to continue my journey eating a primal life.
I would love this cookbook because I just started eating paleo a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I would love some new recipes to get creative in the kitchen!
