Discover one of the oldest and most authentic cuisines in the world with this unique cookbook, which explores the foundations of Middle Eastern cooking.

From the world's oldest recorded cuneiform recipes, some 4,000 years ago, there is a straight line to the kitchen of Smuni Turan. Her recipes have been collected by her son in this cookbook.

The Oldest Kitchen in the World describes both the cuisine and the culture of the Assyrians, also known as Arameans or Suryoye. Now scattered all over the world, they all still speak dialects of Aramaic, and more importantly: they still cook the dishes that all Middle Eastern kitchens are indebted to.
