Join Sana Javeri Kadri and Asha Loupy to celebrate beautiful, simple, seasonal cooking with 85 recipes adapted from India and Sri Lanka's best family spice farms with The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook.
Diaspora Spice Co. sources the most flavorful, fresh spices in the world from 150 regenerative farms across South Asia—from elders, indigenous communities, young changemakers, and brilliant multi-generational farming families across India and Sri Lanka who are leading the way in sustainable and climate change–resistant agriculture.
The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook highlights these farmers and their spices with profiles and evocative photography, plus 85 recipes for simple, seasonal, and powerfully delicious meals.
They share beginner-friendly, freezer-friendly, and dinner party favorites (like a Diwali feast!).
