Mariam offers a taste of traditional Palestinian cuisine with cherished family recipes for the dishes she grew up eating. You'll find a celebratory Msakhan, the national dish of Palestine, made with freshly baked flatbread topped with heaps of caramelized onions, succulent stewed chicken, fresh parsley, and toasted pine nuts. Mariam also includes personal favorites from her childhood, like her mother's irresistible Cheese Fatayer, a savory cheese-stuffed pastry that was a household staple on weekend mornings. Along with these classic dishes, Mariam presents playful recipes infused with Middle Eastern flavors, like a Mediterranean Pasta Salad with Sumac-Vinaigrette and a Tahini and Browned Butter Banana Bread.

I Sleep in My Kitchen features a flavorful array of breakfasts, small plates, salads, soups, and mains in addition to Mariam's signature sweet and savory baked goods. Mariam highlights some of her most popular recipes, like her tender, pull-apart Cinnamon Rolls and her Triple Stack Smash Burgers, alongside a wide range of brand-new creations, from Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos with Cabbage Slaw and Fluffy Browned Butter Rolls with Flaky Sea Salt to a Loaded Chickpea Salad with Bulgur.
