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.
Thanks for offering this, Juli!! 🙂 I usually get my paleo recipes online, BUT… I’d love to have this book because, unlike online, I can write my own little notes in it! 🙂 Plus it’s Whole30 approved ! =)
Liked!
Oops! You can delete that last one. Did all of that goodness. I would la la loooove this because I’m moving into an apartment with my best friend, and while she’s awesome and eats all of my delicious food with weird ingredients, I could really use a cookbook to grace the place with and really break it in with some good food. She’s bomb for self-publishing, and why not rave about her book to everyone at my box // in Syracuse? All about spreading the love. They’ll know where their brownies came from.
My partner and I are Paleo, we wod together, and eat together. In my spare time I’m looking for good tasting recipes to keep it new for us. Since I have found your website, it has made it easier, but so would a cookbook! 😉
My most recent meal I have made the (Curry Meatballs) he licked the bowl! never had that before. totally wanna be able to make more like this. I’ve tried lots of your treats and they are great for pre-wod or post-wod. thanks 🙂
I do not do Paleo strictly, but I am obsessed with so many of the recipe’s. My boyfriend is very into Crossfit and wants to go more Paleo. I would love a cook book with more details so I can help us both achieve those goals 🙂
I am new to Paleo and need some ideas of different things to eat. I have gotten sick of the plain old stuff I have been eating. I like flavor and to add spice to my life!
I am dabbing into the Paleo lifestyle & this would be a great resource for me! Happy to see that so many people are interested and wanting to live healthier 🙂 Keep it up America!
Just haven’t biten the bullet yet and bought this cookbook…but would LOVE to have it. I’m sure I’ll buy it if I don’t win, but hey, it’s worth a shot. =) Pick me pick me pick me
JB – You gotta give me this cookbook. Here’s why:
1) Your blog was the first paleo blog I ever read and I’m pretty sure your recipes and attitude toward Paleo are the reason I’ve stuck with it. (No joke: The Sweet Potato & Apple Breakfast patties and Spinach Sweet Potato Egg Nests got me hooked).
2) I am starting a Whole 30 on Monday, August 13th, the day after this giveaway ends. It is my first Whole 30 and I am excited and terrified. I would love to have Melissa and her badass recipes leading me through it.
3) August 12th is my birthday. And I’m getting old (23), so a cookbook would probably be the perfect gift for an old fart like myself.
4) Oh, and I’m a teacher, which means I fall right there with personal trainers in the “spend all my money on food & supplies” category.
I’d love to win this cookbook because my wife and I are starting a 30-day Paleo challenge very soon, and I need dinner ideas to cook for her (to try to balance out all the times she cooks for me)!
