Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Buttermilk pancakes

    • EmilyR on March 17, 2026

      Solid pancakes that remind me of the revered ones from Lula Cafe.

    • desirae_pwsnie on May 02, 2026

      I used 1/3 salt because I only had Morton, but should have used 1/2. Also 375 was a better temp on the griddle than 400.

  • French toast bake with walnut filling

    • EmilyR on March 17, 2026

      I liked this a lot… it reminded me of bread pudding with a baklava slant. It reheats nicely in an air fryer or on a cast iron skillet.

  • Loaded chickpea salad with lemon-garlic shrimp

    • Breannetuttle on May 06, 2026

      This was a flavorful grain salad. Haven’t cooked with bulgar much at all. Made a few subs - used another bell pepper instead of corn, used the full can of chickpeas, and skipped the raw red onion. No regrets there. I got this cookbook from the library so probably won’t make it again but it was enjoyable!

  • Creamy lentil soup (Addas)

    • EmilyR on March 17, 2026

      I wasn’t convinced there would be enough spices and I didn’t like the vague two bouillon cubes as I generally use a paste and it seemed vague, but it worked out and was a quick and healthy meal, especially paired with the sourdough from this book. Also, I used bone broth for protein as opposed to water.

  • Chicken noodle soup

    • dmdmdmmm on May 05, 2026

      Pretty standard chicken noodle soup and it was easy to make. It was tasty!

  • Creamy chicken gnocchi soup

    • EmilyR on March 17, 2026

      This is a hearty and filling soup. I left one cup of water out as I like to add it as needed and it was fine that way.

  • Three-cheese creamy baked mac and cheese

    • IdleExpatter on March 26, 2026

      This was pretty good! My only real note is to watch the salt levels. I tend to salt my food quite heavily, and following this recipe exactly as written it was riiiiight on the edge of being too salty for me. But otherwise, a great mac. Is it decadent? Heck yeah. It's a baked mac and cheese, what do you expect?

  • Pita bread

    • yayajho on May 15, 2026

      Easy and quick. I did a half batch, and also did a mix of whole wheat (100g) and AP Flour (150g) and it turned our beautifully. It puffed with perfect pockets

  • Cast-iron sourdough focaccia

    • EmilyR on March 17, 2026

      This was oily and I didn’t even drench it in more olive oil. The taste was good and I even think it was better the next day once it absorbed more of the oil.

  • Sourdough loaf

    • EmilyR on March 17, 2026

      I went against my better judgment and made two loaves instead of one. The sourdough was good, just small. It baked up beautifully.

100 flavor-forward recipes—including signature bakes—from the Palestinian American creator of the beloved social media account mxriyum.

Mariam Daud has built a devoted following by sharing beautifully prepared, comforting meals that feel both timeless and entirely her own. In I Sleep in My Kitchen, she offers a collection of the recipes that have shaped her life—dishes that carry the flavors of her heritage and the ease and creativity of a home cook who simply loves to feed others, from cherished classics like her mother’s irresistible Cheese Fatayer, a savory cheese-stuffed pastry, to her takes on everyday favorites like Triple Stack Smash Burgers or tender, pull-apart Cinnamon Rolls.

At the heart of I Sleep in My Kitchen are the flavors Mariam Daud grew up with in her Palestinian American home, including celebratory dishes like Msakhan, the national dish of Palestine, of soft flatbread, caramelized onions, tender stewed chicken, and toasted pine nuts, alongside playful recipes infused with Middle Eastern flavor, like her Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Sumac-Vinaigrette, and Tahini Browned Butter Banana Bread.

Spanning breakfasts, small plates, salads, soups, mains, and her signature sweet and savory baked goods, this collection includes many of her most-loved recipes as well as brand-new creations, including Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with Cabbage Slaw, Fluffy Browned Butter Rolls, and a Loaded Chickpea Salad with Bulgur.
