Jibrin
Nestled among the southern streets and river walls of Cork City is the award-winning Izz Café, run by beloved couple Izzeddeen Alkarajeh and Eman Aburabi. Serving top-quality Palestinian food, including the always-popular manaeesh, steaming fresh pittas, traditional homemade desserts and their own house-roasted coffee, Izz Café has become a much-loved destination in the heart of Cork’s food community.
In Jibrin (pronounced Jib-REEN), named after Eman’s family hometown in Palestine (Beit Jibrin), Izz and Eman share recipes that will take you on a culinary journey of their homeland, including sumac-dusted roast chicken on flatbread (musakhan), bite-size dumplings (shish barak), stuffed pickled aubergines (makdous) and knafeh, the syrupy, cheese-stuffed pastry cake.
Jibrin is an A5 cook book sharing their stories, recipes and traditions, where Izz and Eman remind us that food is more than sustenance – it is a language through which we express love, respect and belonging.
