Preparing quality food is among the most caring things we can do for ourselves and the people we love. That's why Well Fed: Paleo Recipes For People Who Love To Eat is packed with recipes for food that you can eat every day, along with easy tips to make sure it takes as little time as possible to get healthy, delicious food into your well-deserving mouth. If you count meals and snacks, we feed ourselves about 28 times each week. All of the Well Fed recipes -- made with zero grains, legumes, soy, sugar, dairy, or alcohol -- were created so you can enjoy your food every time.

The two essential tricks for happy, healthy eating are being prepared and avoiding boredom. Well Fed explains how to get in the habit of a Weekly Cookup so that you have ready-to-go food for snacks and meals every day. It will also show you how to make Hot Plates, a mix-and-match approach to combining basic ingredients with spices and seasonings to take your taste buds on a world tour. The recipes are as simple as possible, without compromising taste, and they've been tested extensively to minimize work and maximize flavor.

With 115+ original recipes and variations, this book will help you see that paleo eating, too often defined by what you give up, is really about what you'll gain: health, vitality, a light heart, and memorable meals to be shared with the people you love.

Review

''Well Fed is more than just a cookbook - it's the definitive resource for every Paleo chef (and aspiring chef)... This more-than-a-cookbook book has the potential to revolutionize your food-life...'' -- Melissa & Dallas Hartwig, authors of It Starts With Food

''In addition to the beautiful photographs and delicious recipes, this cookbook does something unique in the genre of food preparation - woven throughout the book is the theme of how to put fantastic meals on the table in the least amount of time.'' -- My Athletic Life

''This is a cookbook for people who like to eat. Do you enjoy food? (You do.) Do you enjoy delicious, easy to prepare dishes? (You do.) Then I'd call Well-Fed the only Paleo-oriented cookbook you need.'' -- Three New Leaves

''[S]he turned her system into a cookbook full of mouthwatering recipes. But it's more than just a collection of recipes. It's a guide -- a how-to manual geared at helping the laziest among us run our kitchens and feed our families... Like Melissa, this book has attitude, and the recipes have spunk.'' -- Food Renegade

''Melissa's sassy and fun attitude also comes through in the design and text of the book. I'm not sure I've ever laughed out loud reading a cookbook before.'' -- --Breaking Muscle

About the Author

Melissa Joulwan is the author of the best-selling Well Fed cookbook series and the award-winning blog MelJoulwan.com, where she writes about her triumphs and failures in the gym, in the kitchen, and in life. Her newest cookbook is Well Fed Weeknights: Complete Paleo Meals in 45 Minutes Or Less.

After a lifetime of yo-yo dieting and food as the enemy, Melissa found the paleo diet in 2009 and has been happily following it ever since. That year, she also underwent a thyroidectomy. In the aftermath of the surgery and recovery, she became particularly interested in how diet affects hormones, body composition, mood, and motivation. These days, Melissa's workouts are just as likely to include yoga and meditation as lifting heavy things and sprinting to stay ahead of the stopwatch.

Her first cookbook Well Fed appeared on the Wall Street Journal best sellers list, and Well Fed 2 was named one of the best books of 2013 by Amazon.com and was a Washington Post best seller. Melissa is the author of the recipes in the New York Times bestselling book It Starts With Food by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig. She writes a column for Paleo Magazine and her recipes have been featured in print in Low Sugar Living, Inspire Health, and Where Women Cook, and online at Buzzfeed.com, FoodNetwork.com, Nylon.com, PopSugar.com, and Men's Journal. She has been a featured chef for U.S. Wellness Meats and Lava Lake Lamb, as well as an instructor at Whole Foods.

Melissa, her husband David, and their cat Smudge are all currently living in Prague, Czech Republic where they're learning to adapt Czech and European cuisine to fit the paleo framework.

I have been moving toward a full paleo eating style for the past year and a half and I literally own every "paleo" cookbook available on Amazon. I wish I had this cookbook when I was just getting started. It is the very best of my whole collection -- and that is saying something because I really enjoy a couple of the others. Well Fed is absolutely chock full of deliciousness. Every recipe WORKS. It turns out as described and wows my family. I am doing a "cookup" right now to stock my fridge and pantry for a week of healthy eating -- something I originally learned from John Berardi over at [...] -- and the ideas in this book are going to take my weekend cooking ritual to an even higher level of healthiness and diversity.

I have never before cooked every recipe in a cookbook. I am committing that I will be making every single recipe in this book before the end of 2012. Yes - it is that good. In fact, I have never reviewed any of the many books I have purchased from Amazon, but this author deserves a shout out. Her writing style is authentic and engaging, and the information she shares is fresh and useful (did I mention fun and edgy as well?). I will be buying multiple copies today so I can gift them to some very lucky people. Thank you for your hard work in putting this lovely book together, Melissa Joulwan. You are a kitchen goddess.

This should be the blueprint for all cookbooks.

I am really impressed with this cookbook. It's great for Paleo, Whole30, and healthy eating. I have been seeing a holistic Doctor for Lyme disease and co-infections. At one point my symptoms ramped up and my doctor wanted me to try the Whole30 diet. I had already been eating gluten free and low carb so I was fortunate that the change from my regular diet to the Whole30 wasn't as drastic as others go through. But, I was still struggling with meal ideas. I saw this cookbook and the author's website and new they could help. My first recipe I tried in Well Fed was the mayo. Fantastic!

The cookbook offers so much good information too, not just great recipes. There is info about how to make a week's worth of meals on one day, easy snacks ideas for the Paleo diet, and ways to tweak the recipes to compliment different ethnic dishes. The pictures are fabulous. I highly recommend!

I was on the whole 30 Diet when a friend suggested I buy this book. After making several of the recipes in this book and feeding it to friends, I can hands down say this book taught me how to make some of the yummiest dinners I have made to date! I highly suggest it to anyone who is a beginner, or expert.

You doubt and doubt while you're cooking. But the completed dish always comes together so well.

March 3, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I and my significant other have decided to cook through an entire cookbook. We chose this one on a whim since we both try to eat somewhat paleo, it had great reviews already, and it didn't have a ton of recipes that would a while to get through. I am very glad we decided on this one.

Our first recipe was her "The best chicken you'll ever eat." Boy was it delicious. My significant other who has a cooking background doubted some of her methods, but we decided to stay true to the recipe with some tiny modifications to give it a shot. We ate the chicken with her mayo recipe, which we turned into both her ranch dressing and her creamy Italian dressing and put it all on a bed of salad. Let me tell you, we ate in silence while watching our current favorite show, and when we finished we turned to each other and both agreed that that was freaking delicious meal! To top it all off there were a ton of leftover chicken and the next day it tasted even better.

Our second adventure was her Moroccan meatballs over a bed of Cauliflower rice pilaf (with apricots, raisins, and pine nuts). We used only 1 lb lamb and mixed it with 1 lb ground beef (to help our wallets). The meatballs didn't look like the picture which made me sad, but they did have very good flavor. Plus, the sweetness from the dried fruit in the rice was an amazing touch. Again, like the chicken this dish tasted so much better the second day. However, it was not pretty all mixed together in my lunch container at work. It looked like mush and I had trouble stomaching it until I realized how delicious it was tasting.

Today we decided to go with the Cinnamon Beef stew (we had to forgo the gremolata that was suggested because we forgot to buy the orange). We still had a half portion of unused cauliflower rice from the meatballs so we made that into her alternate confetti rice recipe. Just like the other two recipes we doubted it while we were cooking (when will we learn?). But once you sit down and have everything on a plate in front of you it all works out so well. Our one complaint about this recipe is that the cook time was only 90 minutes for a beef stew! This took almost an hour more than that to get the meat tender. And we did make another small modification of using beef broth instead of water.

All in all, we are very happy with this purchase. So far all 3 entrees, 2 sides, and 3 sauces have come out incredibly well, and we are excited to make are next recipe in a few days. We're looking at the Meatza Pie with her Greek broccoli. The picture doesn't look too appetizing, but she has given me every reason to trust her so far, so we're expecting tasty things from this next dish.

Makes your day in, day out paleo cooking easier

Oh how I love Melissa Joulwan and her book, Well Fed. This book is so aptly named because I truly feel well fed like when I was a little girl at my mom's table. Melissa is obviously comfortable in the kitchen after growing up in them. She has taken all the guess work out of cooking filling healthy paleo meals. She has many lists and resources, but my favorite part is the chapter on hot plates. It's a formula for getting dinner on the table in just 5-10 min.! Genius! If you spend a couple of hours a week shopping, prepping and cooking then you can have a hot plate on the table each night. She teaches the reader how to run his/her kitchen like a restaurant kitchen. I really feel like I learned to cook, not just follow recipes. I also love the modification ideas at the end of each recipe for how to change the flavor profile to meet whatever cuisine you want (Mexican, Italian, Indian, etc.) I have enjoyed experimenting with different flavors. This is so much more than a collection of recipes. It is truly an invaluable paleo cooking resource!

Perfect recipes for the Whole30/Paleo lifestyle

Love the way the cookbook is laid out: it starts with the weekly cook-up tips and then tells you how to make “hot plates” from all the veggies and protein that you’ll be eating.Read more
