Cookie:

I was hoping you'd ask. Here's two great tomato history books:

Smith, Andrew F. The Tomato in America: Early History, Culture and Cookery.
Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 1994. A Mandarin version of this
work was published in July 2000 by Leviathan Publishing Company in Taibei,
Republic of China, and the University of Illinois Press issued a paperback
edition of this work in October 2001.

Smith, Andrew F. Souper Tomatoes: The Story of America's Favorite Food. New
Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 2000.
