akub Gift Hamper – A Taste of Palestinian Tradition
A true celebration of Palestinian culture, craft, and history, the akub Gift Hamper contains an array of products from Bethlehem and beyond. Carefully curated and beautifully packaged, it’s the perfect gift for loved ones or a treat for yourself, whilst supporting the skilful and hard-working producers in Palestine. Inside the hamper you will find:
Luxury Nabulsi Soap: Handmade using ancient techniques in the oldest soap factory in Nablus,this olive oil-based soap offers a gentle, moisturising cleanse.
Palestinian Sumac Spice Jar: The finest sumac grown in Hebron and transported to Bethlehem for drying and crushing by the oldest spice makers in the region. Treasured for its zesty, citrusy notes and ability to lift any dish, you’ll find sumac in many of the dishes and cocktails served at akub.
Palestinian Zaatar Mix: Za’atar is an aromatic herb mix produced from an indigenous variety of thyme that can be used as a dip, topping or seasoning. The thyme is mixed by hand with sea salt, toasted sesame and sumac.
Extra Virgin olive Oil - Cold Press: Ethically sourced from small-scale farmers, this premium olive oil adds authentic, fruity richness to your culinary creations. At akub, we use it in many of our dishes including our Bukjet Mousakhan and Dagga Ghazzawieh.
Bag of Maramiya (Sage): Enjoy the aromatic, soothing essence of dried Palestinian sage. Infuse with water to create a cleansing tea or add into marinades to bring an earthy, sweet-yet-savoury flavour. You’ll find lots of ways to use this cherished Palestinian herb throughout Fadi’s cookbook, Bethlehem.
Freshly Ground Arabic Coffee: Experience the rich, bold taste of Arabic coffee sourced from the oldest coffee roaster in Bethlehem. This particular blend is Chef Fadi’s favourite, combining dark and blond roasted coffee with cardamom to add a subtle warmth and floral note.
Fadi's Teta Julia's Cake: Following Fadi’s grandmother’s recipe, this richly spiced cake is packed with Palestinian dates, walnuts, dried figs and apricots, and date molasses. A recipe that’s very close to Fadi’s heart and one that symbolises Christmas for the whole of his family. You can also find the recipe on page 230 of Fadi’s cookbook, Bethlehem.
“Bethlehem” Book: In “Bethlehem”, Fadi unveils the hidden gems of this historic city that he calls home, immersing readers in the vibrant colors, enticing aromas, and bustling markets and spice shops that define Bethlehem's culinary landscape. He introduces us to the local farmers and artisans who play an integral role in bringing his culinary visions to life.
At the heart of “Bethlehem” are the inspiring stories of the unsung heroes behind the cuisine who, generation after generation, contribute to the culinary tapestry of the region.
