Well Fed: Paleo Recipes for People Who Love to Eat Book by Melissa Joulwan and David Humphreys
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.
Melissa Joulwan's favorite spice is cumin. Her favorite vegetable is
cabbage. Her favorite book is "Jane Eyre." Her favorite city is Prague,
and her favorite band is Social Distortion. You might have known all of
that already if you follow her blog The Clothes Make The Girl. The
Clothes Make the Girl is an unusual title for a blog that's about her
tales of triumph and failure in the gym, in the kitchen, in life.
Melissa
has been following a 90% strict paleo diet since 2009 when she
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.
"Well Fed" is her second book.
Her first is "Rollergirl: Totally True Tales from the Track," a memoir
of her experiences as one of the founders of the Texas Rollergirls, the
original Flat Track Roller Derby league. She has appeared on the Today
Show and Good Morning America in her roller skates and fishnets. These
days, she's hung up her skates, and her workouts are just as likely to
include yoga and meditation, as lifting heavy things and trying to stay
ahead of the CrossFit stopwatch.
In 2012, Melissa's blog won the
Homie Award from The Kitchen for "Best Healthy Cooking Blog" -- and
"Well Fed" was the winner the 2012 "Best Cookbook" Award at the San
Francisco Book Festival. She is also a Community Ambassador for
"Experience Life" magazine and has been a featured chef for U.S.
Wellness Meats. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband Dave and their cat Smudge.
