Filled with culinary storytelling, 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.CEO and founder Sana Javeri Kadri and recipe writer Asha Loupy realized that eating with the people who grow our spices unveils a whole new dimension in our cooking. For instance, the Mir family, who works all year to grow and harvest their saffron, shared not only their technique for blooming the vibrant spice and how to make sure every thread is fully utilized, but their unforgettably delicious dishes. Adapted for a global pantry, these recipes share the warmth of true South Asian home cooking at its truest and tastiest, starting with chutneys & pickles, snacks, and veggies, traveling through to mains from the sea and from the land, rice and breads, and ending with drinks and desserts.Sana Javeri Kadri is the founder of Diaspora Spice Co, a direct trade spice company building a radically equitable, sustainable, and more delicious spice supply chain.

Since then, it has grown exponentially, now working with more than 150 regenerative farms across India and Sri Lanka, paying $3.1 million directly to farm partners over the past 6.5 years, and bringing 27 single-origin spices and 13 bestselling blends to the world. With over 125,000 customers globally and products stocked in 525+ retail stores across the US and UK, the company is reshaping the spice trade—one fair, flavorful, and transparently sourced spice at a time.
