Blasta Books | Jibrin | Cookbook from Izz Café

Made in: Dublin

Nestled among the southern streets and river quays 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.

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.

In sharing their stories, recipes and traditions in Jibrin, Izz and Eman remind us that food is more than sustenance – it’s a language through which we express love, respect and belonging.

Palestinian couple Izz Alkarajeh and Eman Aburabi came to Ireland with their four children in 2016. They eventually settled in Cork and started trading at Mahon Point Farmers’ Market, where their entire stock sold out in just two hours on their first day. One year later, they opened their now-beloved Izz Café in Cork City in 2019. Representing Palestinian cuisine, culture and hospitality is at the core of what Izz and Eman do.
