What We Do

Sacred Cuisine offers a

variety of immersive events

designed to

connect you

and your community with

Palestinian food and culture.

We collaborate with Palestinian organizations, foundations, and businesses to share the experience of cooking and eating Somi food.

We also work with farmers’ markets, yoga teachers, community groups, and other organizations whose work we believe makes a positive impact on the world.

Types of Events

Global Pop-Up Storytelling Nights: We are on a mission to bring Palestinian cuisine to every corner of the world through pop-up dinners, culinary collaborations, and storytelling nights. We’ve chefed and hosted events for 30 to 200 people, in 25 cities across 10 countries. At these events, we honor and speak about Palestinian heritage, the ongoing conflict, and Palestinian food while sharing the flavors, stories, and traditions behind the dishes, connecting people to the spirit and roots of Palestinian food wherever they are.
Consulting & Menu Creation: We partner with restaurants and culinary projects to develop recipes and design menus rooted in culture, story, and plant-based creativity.
Cooking Classes: We’ll guide you through a number of Somi Palestinian dishes as well as some of Chef Izzeldin’s own creations. Learn to prepare delicious vegetarian/vegan meals like Maqluba and Musakhan, while delving into the history behind each dish.
Jerusalem Food Tours: On this walking tour, we explore the backstreets of Jerusalem, stopping at farms stalls, spice shops, markets, food stands, and tucked away restaurants. Izzeldin will introduce you to local shopkeepers, artisans, and farmers, talking through the ingredients, processes, stories, and conflicts that make Palestinian cuisine what it is today. Izzeldin has guided chefs like Jamie Oliver, Andreas Viestad, Lionel Senpau, and Stéphane Brette, among others.

Private Chef at Special Events: We provide private chef services for special events worldwide, crafting Palestinian-inspired menus for gatherings, celebrations, and cultural events for 30 to 200 guests. Every experience honors the moment through food, story, and the deep flavors of Palestine.
Private Chef at Retreats: We offer private chef services for retreats across Europe and beyond, preparing daily vegetarian and vegan meals infused with a spiritual and mindful touch for groups of 15-30 guests. Each menu is created around a chosen theme: balance, flavor, nourishment, and more.
Source Palestinian Products: SacredCuisine helps with sourcing authentic Palestinian ingredients, including olive oil, tahini, za’atar, sumac, and other spices, available for wholesale, special projects, and events.
