I Sleep in My Kitchen: Comfort Food Recipes from My Palestinian American Home

$35 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

Mariam Daud’s cooking reflects the rhythms of a home kitchen shaped by Palestinian traditions and American everyday life. In this collection, she brings together recipes that move easily between the two, pairing dishes rooted in family memory with more casual, contemporary favorites. Alongside classics such as msakhan (flatbread layered with onions, chicken, and pine nuts) are recipes like feta-chive buttermilk biscuits with roasted garlic butter, roasted yellow pepper pasta, and cinnamon rolls designed for sharing. The range spans breakfast, small plates, mains, and baked goods, with an emphasis on food that is generous, adaptable, and meant to be eaten together. Daud’s approach is informal but thoughtful, balancing familiarity with small, personal variations, The result is a cookbook centered on comfort and continuity, where cooking becomes a way of maintaining connection across place and time. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout.
