The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook by Sana Javeri Kadri & Asha Loupy

The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook by Sana Javeri Kadri & Asha Loupy (NetGalley ARC, pub 3/3) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was really excited to be given an ARC to preview this cookbook. I’ve followed this company since they only offered two spices. Early in the book there is a page called “where to begin” that helpfully organizes recipes into categories such as beginner friendly, 45 minutes or less, freezer friendly, good for CSA overflow, etc. There is also a section dedicated making your own spice blends, which are key building blocks for these recipes. The spice blends are also very accessible, generally requiring no more than toasting and grinding spices. There are sections based on the families who shared their recipes and details about the land on which these spices are grown, as well as organization of spices by course. This book is a lovely recipe of history, culture, and flavor. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
