The Cookbook is a Hamilton New York International Film Festival Official Selection.


Starring Josue Ledesma, Diane Ciesla, Vince Edgehill, Liz Priestley and Eric Feola, The Cookbook is a story about Sarikh Kalil, a man who returns home to Central New York to reunite with his estranged father after he suffers a debilitating stroke. But when he discovers his father can no longer run the family Lebanese restaurant and a buyer is in hot pursuit, Sarikh must choose between taking over the restaurant himself or selling out to chase his own dream.


The Cookbook will screen at HNYIFF in Hamilton, NY in late July 2023.
