The time is ripe to celebrate and pass on Assyrian cooking with "The Oldest Kitchen in the World," an essential addition to any kitchen.

Many of the recipes are longtime family recipes that Smerina ... envision combining these two passions into one project. All of the work in the cookbook was done right out of my own cozy kitchen.

Whether you're adding it to your own Elf on the Shelf tradition or gifting it to a family who loves a little holiday magic, this cookbook is sure to be a hit.
