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.

Your book would be an awesome addition to my kitchen to help me rocking my Paleo lifestyle!
I’ve gotten Well Fed from the library before and love Melissa’s approach to prep and batch cooking along with her ethnic tastes. I’d love a copy to keep me on my paleo cookbook whore path! I hope that not being part of the “Twitterverse” doesn’t rule me out as I love every FB post I see from you or her! Trying to get CFTA in Winter Park to get one of you guys up here some time!
I’m new to your site and I love your recipes! If these are similar to yours and approved by you then I’m excited for what’s to come in this book!
I’d love to win this book. Mostly because I suck at creating side dishes and snacks. I’m pretty ok with meats. In week 7 of paleo and feeling awesome!
I have recently started eating Paleo and would love this book.
I would love to have her cookbook to add more amazing recipes to my Paleo repertoire!
Hey there! So, Here’s the deal: I have been making your paleo chocolate chip cookies for a while now and my fiancé loves them ( as do I. I love chocolate. Hehe) so anywho, we just got hitched 3 days ago and were on the way back from our wedding trip and we were talking about paleo and how we need to step it up! So, as I am a wife now, this cookbook would be the foundation. I am 23 yers old and I love love love to cook and try new healthy things! We love crossfit too!!! Hooray
So, I’m 16 and started paleo 8 months ago. Basically everyone that I talk to thinks I’m crazy, but I’m used to it. I got interested because I work out a lot and play a lot of sports. ( + @emilyschromm) I would enjoy this fabulous cookbook due to the fact that I love cooking and I would love to be able to share rad paleo recipes with my non-paleo friends. I also couldn’t help but notice you’re pretty cool yourself and your sweet potato recipes make me go cray. I guess I won’t win though because I don’t have a facebook. Sorry! 🙁
I “liked” The CLothes Make the GIrl on facebook, follow Melissa on twitter & tweeted! I would love this cookbook because I am switching from a vegan to paleo diet 🙂
I would love to win this book because I am new to the paleo lifestyle and could use all the help I can get, loving it so far and want to love it even more.
