Earlier this week I saw a post on facebook about a new paleo cookbook called "Well Fed." The cookbook (which is available both as an e-book and a printed soft-cover) was written by Melissa Joulwan, author of the blog "The Clothes Make the Girl." I had heard of Melissa's blog before, but didn't realize she was living a paleo lifestyle. This made me excited! I contacted Melissa immediately and asked her if I could possibly have a review copy of her cookbook. Melissa's book was not only gluten free & grain free, legume free, and sugar free... Melissa's book was also dairy free! Some paleo/primal cookbooks allow dairy in their food plan, but as I'm extremely intolerant to dairy, I was thrilled to know this cookbook could indeed feed me well.
Melissa graciously sent me a digital copy of her cookbook and also offered for one of my readers to win a copy as well. (See details at the end of this post!)

| Melissa Joulwan, author of "The Clothes Make the Girl" and "Well Fed" |
You will fall in love with this cookbook. My favorite part of the cookbook is Melissa's technical explanation of how to easily prepare your foods for the whole week in a couple of hours. She shares a wonderful technique called "Hot Plates" which shows you how to make super easy combinations of your favorite proteins, vegetables, fat, and spices to create a fun & different meal each night of the week. I have already referred to her "Hot Plate" ideas for several of our weekly meals! A completely brilliant concept Melissa!
Also included in the book is a whole chapter on recipes for different sauces and seasonings, explaining if you make a few of the sauces (such as her Sunshine sauce, mint chutney, Sri Lankan Curry Sauce etc...) ahead of time, you'll always have a great condiment to really give your homemade meals a truly gourmet touch!
Throughout the book Melissa shows you how to cook and run your home kitchen as efficiently as a restaurant kitchen. She gives you really helpful tips and ideas on how to make cooking fun, innovative, and something you'll enjoy. And the bonus... every single one of these recipes will make you feel great, energetic, and absolutely well fed!
Contest is NOW OVER!

ReplyDeleteI just found Melissa's site last weekend through link hopping doing research on going paleo. I sooo need this book because after 2 years of traditional gluten free (packaged snacks as well as healthy food), my other intolerances seem to be making themselves known. :( So, I am going to try paleo starting in Jan, and would love my hubs to try too, but will need recipes & help as I am not the cook in the family! Contact as mjbodeau of the yahoo email
ReplyDeleteThis would be useful to me as I'm eating paleo, but dreadful at coming up with variety in my meals. This would give me so many options!
ReplyDeleteyou are always introducing me to new blogs and resources, thank you! digging the "hot plates" idea. and Sunshine Sauce? who wouldn't like sunshine sauce? great giveaway! celiacinthecity@gmail.com

I could definitely use that Hot Plate idea! I'm not exactly known for my organization skills, especially with 3 kids under 5. Our family has been primal for about 1.5 years and I'd love to try these recipes! meghan_richey (at) hotmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteOmg! I want this book so bad. I devoured the 30 page preview. I'm a recent college grad, starting a new job and new life in January AND Whole30! I love that Melissa's book is Whole30 approved and it would really help me out considering I've only been eating cafeteria food for four years!

I have been a fan/follower of "The Clothes Make the Girl" and Melissa for a few years now. She's leading a life of health, wellness, and self-discovery that I aspire to. And to top that off, she's shared amazing and delicious recipes all the while. "Well Fed" is at the top of my Christmas wish list this year! Go Melicious!! And thanks Gingerlemongirl. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of this book! The Hot Plates sound so helpful! I am a mother of two and, while I like to meal plan, I feel like I get into a rut as to what we are going to have week after week. Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy! tjward01@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI think that hot plate would be THE best part of her book. I feel like I am having to start again every day with cooking dinner at our house, and that is with our month long meal plan!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Melissa's book as I have been following her blog since June and have loved her wit, recipes, and workout stories. She makes my belly grumble and and laugh out loud at my desk. I'm also talking paleo with my parents. My mum is a chef and restaurant owner. I think Melissa's creative recipes and flavor twists are just what my mum needs to jump on the paleo bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteI tried the Paleo diet last winter and loved it, but fell off the bandwagon when I met my BF. Now both of us are looking to clean it up and this cookbook would be such an awesome tool for us!! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletejust couple of months ago I found Melissa's blog and now the day can't go by without me visiting her blog. I love her recipes, stories and lifestyle. During the week I choose some recipes from her blog and make it over the weekend :)Yum!!! Also, just recently I found out that I am gluten intolerant and it's a real challenge in making sure that I am staying on the track. "Well Fed" would help me in coping with my gluten allergies and sticking to my paleo diet.

I am so excited about this book. I ordered a copy for a Christmas gift for someone else. What was I thinking?
ReplyDeleteI've been following Mel's site for a while now, & have enjoyed many of her recipes & musings. I'm allergic to a lot of foods; cannot have sugar & starchy carbs in most forms, intolerant to dairy (the list goes on, I'll stop there!), so I've found the paleo diet & her site a useful resource for recipes that I can actually use. Her book will definitely be a well-loved & used addition to my home!
ReplyDeleteI'm really new to a paleo diet due to food sensitivities and I think her book would really help me with meal ideas. I tend to eat the same things over and over.

I would love this cookbook because i am sensitive to some foods like dairy, gluten and don't eat meat or fish! I also love more cookbooks :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a copy of this book. I recently found out I am allergic to wheat and potatoes, so whenever I try to eat gluten free, I often can't have things due to the "potato starch" in them. I'm attempting to start making things from scratch on my own but mainly wish to turn to a more natural, healthy way of eating, and I have heard that the paleo diet is great. I can be reached at hopefulvalley@gmail.com if I am the winner!
ReplyDeleteI recently found out I am allergic to wheat and potatoes. Many gluten free products have potato starch in them, and my typical diet used to be mac and cheese, pb and j sandwiches, etc. So now I am trying to find a new style of eating! Well Fed would be a GREAT resource for me to begin with, as I have heard it is a really good diet.
ReplyDeleteIf I am the winner, you can reach me at hopefulvalley@gmail.com. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love a copy of this cookbook! I can't do any grain except rice, can't eat dairy, and have a whole host of other allergies. This book could be a lifesaver! I've been interested in making the paleo switch for a while, it could help kick-start that! If I am a lucky girl and get chosen for the cookbook you can contact me at jlsaven@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to win! I just went paleo a few months ago (to tame my terrible autoimmune issues and celiac) and still feel a little lost with recipes. This would help a lot! Email is ali@engincoach.com
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazingly good! I'd love this book to fit into my new paleo lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This cookbook sounds awesome! My nutritionist put me on the Gatherer Genotype diet, a version of a type O blood type diet. Type Os are hunter/gatherer, so the diets eliminate most grains, most dairy, a number of bean varieties, and almost all sugars. What is allowed is in very small quantities, such that it's really just easier and better to learn to do without them, so the occasional taste still keeps you in line. This book sounds like it would fall in line pretty well with my Gatherer food list.
ReplyDeleteBoth my husband and I need to loose weight. My husband is having back surgery on Monday morning and needs all the good, supernutritious food that Melissa's book promotes. I also know the book includes tips on minimizing meal production time, which would be a great asset in terms of managing stress.
ReplyDeleteSince my husband won't be working for awhile, getting the digital book would be wonderful!

ReplyDeleteI already have this book on my Amazon wishlist. I tried the Paleo thing earlier in the year but just found myself totally unprepared for it. 3 weeks ago I picked it back up (being much wiser now!). I feel totally great and want to get my kids switched over, too. This book sounds like it will be such a help - especially the part about preparing ahead for the week.
ReplyDeletethis would so help me with my struggle to eat Paleo!

Hi Carrie, I went gluten and dairy free 6 years ago, my children shortly followed suit and now my husband is making the transtion however I believe grains in general to to root of many of our health issues. I'm very interested in learning more about this way of eating, but having already cut so much out our diets. I have tested the Paleo diet but feel constantly hungry which makes me think I'm not doing it right. This book might be just what I need to embark successfully on this diet. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteMaking meals is really tough in my house. My food sensitivities cause me to not want to eat sometimes. My stomach hurts too much if I do. I have been searching for answers, and this cookbook sounds like an answer.
Plus I like that she offers menu plans.
Been gluten free for years as you know and while I don't currently eat paleo I have been looking at it a lot recently and want to head in that direction or something similar so a book like this would give me a starting point.

I was raised by a Vegan that never taught me how to cook. My foray into cooking began via my fiance's senior dog that had allergies & was overweight. I bit the bullet & educated myself on how to feed him a raw food diet & was amazed to observe him transform. He was a large breed that lived happily until the age of 15 1/2. It was just the motivation I needed to conquer my fear of cooking. Fast forward 7 years later & I now cook daily for 2 cats, a large puppy & the two of us. It's a lot of work & I am already mostly gluten, dairy & sugar free & have been contemplating Paleo for months. Preparation is key & it looks like Melissa has laid out some great guidelines. I would love to win a digital copy to ease the transition with some recipes to help me get started! I am cosmic bubbles@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great review Carrie. Melissa is such an inpsiring person :) I've also been gluten free for almost a decade now - and I'm interested in trying a Paleo diet.

We have to prepare an extra meal for him to take to work and it can be tough making two meals and sometimes three (one for me too) every night.

ReplyDeleteHi Gingerlemongirl!
ReplyDeleteFor about 3 years I was experiencing horrible stomach pains. My doctors couldn't figure out what it was. They diagnosed me with IBS, so I began an IBS-friendly diet. A year later, I began a gluten-free diet. Both of these diet changes helped a lot, but I still get those stomach pains. And, it's impossible to cook for myself and for my husband in a way that satisfies both of us. I want to cook healthily, but I also want us to enjoy the food we're eating. A friend of mine suggested that we start this Paleo diet. I would love to have this cookbook so that I can be rid of stomach pains and so that my husband can be healthy! and happy :) My email address is amandat315@gmail.com.
We are gluten free and have dairy allergies and I am going grain free as well. This would be a great help to us! Wholenewmom at gmail dot com. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteTen years ago I was told I had celiac spru after an endoscopy and then a blood test. I tried a GF diet for about a year and then gave up. I had to have everything shipped me except a few items I found at the local health food store. About a year ago when GF food started popping up in the local grocery stores I decided to revisit a GF healthy diet that will help my health. It has been difficult to find recipes where the outcome actually tastes good. I am excited to hear about this cook book and that I helps with leaving out other allergic ingredients as I am allergic to some nuts, soy, and honey.

This book would be amazingly helpful to my family. I have, for two weeks now, been eating a paleo diet. I am slowly converting my family and my kitchen completely. I found out I was insulin resistant, and have not looked back... Well, I have looked back, but I haven't given in. Since starting this, I have for the first time, started breathing out of my nose. I don't know if it was wheat or dairy, or both, but I was chronically congested and didn't think that would ever change. I am also cooking these meals for my father, and so this book would be great to add varity to our newly limited menu.

Thank you for the review, I'm often suspicious that paleo cookbooks are reviewed differently because there are so very few of them out there. I plan to get this cookbook whether I win it or not but your review made it all that more intriguing. I love to cook and being paleo (two years now) adds to the challenge and keeps cooking exciting for me. I began eating paleo by choice (and, in part, b/c I was already allergic, not intolerant, to cow diary) and feel the amazing benefits (and consequences when I go off paleo). I am leaner, stronger and feel better then I ever thought possible.
