Kate and Molly speak with friends and co-writers, Suzanne Zeidy and Rawah Badrawi, about their gorgeous new book Egypt. The friends and neighbors share how they met, the individual projects they've worked on and how they decided to join forces to write this in depth guide to Egyptian food. They talk about dividing the labor, their multiple research trips, why they decided to divide the book by region and the dishes they hope readers try. They also share some theories about Egyptian food on the international stage, the recent perspective shift in cuisine they've noticed and leave us with some advice about working on an ambitious project with a co-writer.
