Virtual Author Talk: Sana Javeri Kadri and Asha Loupy

Simple, sustainable and powerfully delicious meals with the authors of 'The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook.'

Join us as we chat with Sana Javeri Kadri and Asha Loupy about The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook, which celebrates beautiful, simple and seasonal cooking with 85 recipes adapted from India and Sri Lanka’s best family spice farms.

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. Filled with culinary storytelling, The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook highlights these farmers and their spices with profiles and evocative photography.

CEO and founder Kadri and recipe writer Loupy realized that eating with the people who grow our spices unveils a whole new dimension in cooking. Adapted for a global pantry, these recipes share the warmth of true South Asian home cooking at its truest and tastiest.

Kadri and Loupy 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.
