*Pre-order* Palestine on a Plate: Memories from My Mother's Kitchen, 10th Anniversary Edition (Joudie Kalla)

Expected December 10, 2026. Available for pre-order now!

Palestinian food is not just found on the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem with the ka’ak (sesame) bread sellers and stalls selling za’atar chicken and mana’eesh (za’atar and sesame bread), but in the home too; in the kitchens all across the country, where families cook and eat together every day, in a way that generations before them have always done.

Palestine on a Plate, Joudie Kalla's seminal cookbook, is a tribute to family, cooking, and home—old recipes created with love that bring people together in appreciation of the beauty of this rich heritage. It is a testament to the strength of Palestinian culture and food, cooked with the ingredients that Joudie's mother and grandmother use, and their grandmothers used before them. Immerse yourself in the stories and culture of Palestine through the food in this lavish 10-year anniversary edition.

Experience the flavors of Palestine through zingy fattet hummus (tangy yoghurt, chickpeas and hummus, served over toasted pita bread and drizzled in buttered pine nuts), satisfyingly spiced makloubeh (an upside down spiced rice dish with lamb neck and fried eggplant), eggplant and zucchini stuffed full with spiced and herbed lamb, and sublimely decadent awameh (honey dumplings) all accompanied by fresh mint tea and white coffee (not actually coffee at all, but a refreshing mix of water, orange blossom water and sugar).

Stunning photography and personal stories evoke the vibrancy and romance of a land and its people, bringing Palestine into your home and inviting you to share in traditions rooted in the past and future.
