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 tweeted, and I Facebook liked and now I would LOVE to win this cookbook, because, I maybe have been drooling over it for a couple weeks now. And because Melissa is fantastic!
The cover says it all: Paleo recipes for people who love to eat! That’s me! I love to cook, I’m a new mom, and I also plan on raising the baby on paleo! Please oh please pick me 🙂
I am cooking paleo for a family of 5 and I could always use new recipes for keeping my family interested in this new life style. We’ve been paleo for about 3 months now and all of us are benefiting from it! Definitely the best thing Ive ever done for my family.
My husband and I started eating paleo at the beginning of July and are always looking for cookbooks and recipes to spice up our meals. I would LOVE to win this for us!
I liked Melissa on Facebook and tweeted!
I think I should win this cookbook because I am really just getting into Paleo dieting and I feel that it can help turn my life around. I have lost almost 70 pounds already by going Paleo with exercise and I am shooting for even more loss! This will be an excellent tool to give me great meals while still eating healthy which has been hard these last months. Thanks much! 🙂
I would so love to win Melissa’s book, it’s been on my ‘wish list’ for a while now…but unfortunatly life sometimes gets in the way by the ‘need list’.
Love your work Juli xo
this book has been on my wish list for months and months! hope i win it 😉
I have just started being full on Paleo (a month ago) after years and years of putting up with all sorts of “body problems” and I am feeling like a new person and love it…… but now I am in desperate need of an awesome cookbook. I love her blog and I bet this book is an absolute winner!
Let me shoot it straight Juli, I can’t cook. I am single too.. So obviously I need to learn to cook in order to add to my qualities I can offer a significant other. Preferably a good lookin,paleo eating crossfitter. 🙂 I think it’s only fair I win. Did I also mention today is my birthday??? You can kill two birds with one stone. Eitherway I’ll still think you’re great :))
I’ve been on and off paleo for awhile (really not convenient when I’m at home) but I move back to college in a few weeks and actually have to cook for myself this time around! This cookbook would be an amazzzzzing help. Plus, the pictures from the other day have really peaked my interest in the paleo gems that are probably in there!
