Nestled among the southern streets and river walls of Cork City is the award-winning Café Izz, run by beloved couple Izz and Eman Alkarajeh. Serving top-quality Palestinian food, including the always-popular manaeesh, steaming fresh pittas, traditional homemade desserts and rich coffee, Café Izz has become a much-loved destination in the heart of Cork’s food community. In Jibrin, named after Eman’s family hometown in Palestine, Izz and Eman share recipes that will take you on a culinary journey of their homeland, with recipes including perfectly tender roast chicken (musakhan), bite-size dumplings (shishbarak), stuffed pickled aubergines (makdous) and the syrupy, cheese-stuffed pastry cake nabulsi kunafa.
