While gathering recipes for our cookbook, we discovered and tested more dishes than we could possibly include. These bonus recipes are straight from the home kitchens of our farm partners: seasonal staples, and heirloom favorites you won’t find anywhere else. For more such recipes, order The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook here!
On the Parameswaran family farm, pepper vines wind their way up palm and jackfruit trees that are intercropped with coffee plants bearing emerald-hued leaves and vivid white blossoms. Walking through the farm with the aroma is intoxicating (think orange blossom meets almonds). Ginger is also grown on the farm, so Shirley Aunty makes a healing tonic with all three. We couldn’t resist turning these flavors into a cozy cappuccino. Adapted by Asha Loupy.
