"Nile Nightshade provides a master class in food history by deftly and accessibly navigating a complex political, culinary, and linguistic story through a now-common vegetable. By prioritizing the kitchen, Anny Gaul produces a new way of thinking about the building of national cuisines that transverses borders both imposed and imaginative."--Alicia Kennedy, author of No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating
"Anny Gaul's amazingly documented, engagingly erudite and insightful story of how Egyptians made the tomato their own is a fascinating way to learn about Egypt, its history, agriculture, culinary culture and people."--Claudia Roden, author of Claudia Roden's Mediterranean and The New Book of Middle Eastern Food
