About The Menu
The Cookbook Club event on September 29th had a menu based on dishes from
JIBRIN by Izz Alkarajeh and Eman Aburabi
The menu was carefully crafted by Izz and Eman and Camerino Bakery Blackrock.
Guests received a signed copy of JIBRIN to bring home with them to try out the recipes for themselves. Throughout the night we shared stories, memories and tips with Izz and Eman all about the journey of making JIBRIN.
We enjoyed famous Palestinian dishes with a full Halal menu. All mixed together with great conversations throughout the night.
About The Authors
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.@cafeizz
About The Book
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.
