Curated Cuisine: South Asian recipes from The Diaspora Spice Co.

Curated Cuisine is a monthly series examining all things edible, from the chefs cooking the food to the writers reviewing the recipes. Meet the people shaping the food industry, both local and national and enjoy a post-show bite inspired by the conversation.

Spices are more than small jars that sit in your cabinet and make an appearance during meal prep. For Sana Javeri Kadri, CEO of Diaspora Spice Co., and recipe writer Asha Loupy those little jars represent the farmer who toiled in the fields with love to bring you that flavor. Kadri and Loupy have co-authored “The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook,” a new book that celebrates the spices from India and Sri Lanka. The cookbook centers on regenerative farms across South Asia where Kadri and Loupy spent time with the farmers who grow regional spices and the family recipes built on those traditions.

Join Tamika Francis, founder of Food & Folklore, for a conversation with Kadri and Loupy and watch a cooking demonstration from the new collection of 85 recipes. Copies of the cookbook will be available to purchase, Kadri and Loupy will sign and guests will enjoy a bite from the book following the conversation.
