Diaspora Spice Co. sources the most flavor ful\, fresh spices in the world from 150 regenerative farms across South A sia&mdash\;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&ndash\;resistant agriculture. Filled with culinary storytelling\, \;The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook \;highlights these farmers and their spices with profile s and evocative photography\, plus 85 recipes for simple\, seasonal\, and powerfully delicious meals.
