From Diaspora Spice Co., the progressive spice company rooted in flavor and equity, comes a cookbook celebrating beautiful, simple, and seasonal cooking with 85 recipes adapted from India and Sri Lanka’s best family spice farms.
Sana and Asha also note which recipes are the most beginner friendly, freezer friendly, good for a dinner party menu (like a Diwali feast!), and which lend themselves to be pantry building blocks, all for a super easy-to-navigate cookbook.
This incredibly fresh, beautifully photographed, powerful collection is a celebration of these farming families, their precious harvests, and how they season recipes with big flavor.

Reviews
"In a book full of lush travel and food photography, Sana Javeri Kadri, CEO and founder of the retail spice company, and recipe writer Asha Loupy share the stories of the farmers who grow their spices across South Asia. Each highly regional recipe, like Coconut Turmeric Fish Curry and Daikon and Orange Salad with Sesame-Cumin Dressing, clearly identifies the farmer or cook who inspired it and explains the spices that are integral to the recipe and/or the family traditions around it.”
