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.

Starting my first whole30 and looking forward to feeling great!
Time to give paleo a try!
I want this cookbook! I’m a new mom and trying really hard to get my husband to eat paleo with me!! I really want my kid to grow up know the difference between real food and fake food. I love your website, Juli! I stalk it daily. 🙂
I want her book so BAD 🙂 I love cooking and have been following her blog (and yours, obviously) since I started changing my eating habits about two months ago. Feel great and want to keep the inspiration flowing!!
I would love to win this cookbook because I am really interested in Paleo,
And also because the person who called them self an “old fart” at 23 made me throw up a little in the back of my mouth. (I’m 48) so I need to stay fit so I can hunt them down and smack the crap outta them.
Seriously, that cookbook looks awesome! I love to read cookbooks – and make recipes sometimes too! Thanks, Juli; what a great giveaway! Scott and I try to eat Paleo as much as possible, so this would be fantastic.
I’ve been wanting that book for ages! Its always sold out on Amazon!!!
I would love to have this cookbook not only for the great recipes but also the planning and preparing ahead. I have been doing the paleo eating for a couple months now and I love it! My husband and my daughter, who is 14, are also happy with the food and how they feel.
Liked and tweeted! Would love to win a copy of her book so I can make delicious paleo recipes for my family (in addition to your recipes of course!).
I would love to have this because I gifted a copy to a friend who loves it! I’ve been doing the whole30 and would love to have more recipes! Thank you!!
