"The spices are merely a vessel for culture, community, storytelling, and politics. The recipes were so fresh, simple, and seasonal. That's not the version of South Asian food that most people know."
"The moments we had in the kitchen with women made everything worth it. It was something I never thought I was going to be able to do."
Diaspora Spice Co. is known for its vibrant spice tins and single-origin spices. The brand's first cookbook aims to showcase the complexity of South Asian cuisine. Founder Sana Javeri Kadri emphasizes the importance of centering South Asia in spice cooking. Kadri, coauthor Asha Loupy, and photographer Melati Citrawireja traveled across India and Sri Lanka to document heirloom recipes and techniques, focusing on the contributions of women in a male-dominated culinary industry. The cookbook preserves these traditions through a modern lens.
