Mel Joulwan, an author and blogger, explores health and wellness, with a particular emphasis on paleo cooking. Her website, "The Clothes Make the Girl," emerged as a key resource for paleo information and led to her bestselling "Well Fed" cookbook series. Joulwan crafts recipes that are grain-free, legume-free, soy-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, and alcohol-free, yet remain flavorful and internationally-inspired, prioritizing ease of preparation. Her philosophy centers on making healthy eating joyful and sustainable, often through transforming traditional recipes to align with paleo guidelines. Dave Humphreys, Joulwan's husband, provides the creative direction for the "Well Fed" series, contributing the photography and illustrations that define its visual style. Drawing on a background as a creative director, writer, and producer for networks like Fox Family, Disney Channel, and ABC Family, Humphreys applies his extensive experience in visual storytelling and brand development to their collaborative publishing ventures. Beyond their culinary work, Joulwan co-founded "Strong Sense of Place" with Humphreys. This website and podcast explores literary travel and books featuring vivid settings, showcasing their shared appreciation for culture and storytelling. This collaboration extends their creative endeavors beyond the kitchen, encompassing diverse projects that connect healthy living with a broader engagement in the world.
