This cookbook is packed with over 85 recipes, each designed to bring big, bold flavors to your home kitchen. From everyday meals to special occasion feasts, there’s something for every type of cook and every kind of craving.

The Diaspora Co. Cookbook isn’t just about food; it’s about history, culture, and connection. It reclaims the spice trade’s colonial past and brings South Asian voices to the forefront, honoring the art of home cooking and treasured heirloom recipes. It’s a heartfelt tribute to our farmer partners, the land, and the communities whose rich traditions have shaped these vibrant flavors and made it possible to share them with you. And the best part? Every recipe has been tested and adapted with multiple ingredients and techniques so you can easily recreate the flavors in your own kitchen.

Of course! Whether you’re a total beginner or you grew up with these flavors, there's something for everyone. We break down everything—from spices to techniques to pantry essentials—in a way that’s approachable and easy to follow.

Absolutely! We designed this cookbook to be inclusive and flexible. South Asian cuisine naturally offers plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, so you’re already ahead of the game. But it doesn’t stop there—we’ve made sure to highlight alternatives wherever possible so you can actually make these recipes part of your daily cooking. Want to swap proteins, adjust spice levels, or make it dairy-free? We’ve got you covered.

Yes! Folks who preorder will receive a free recipe booklet featuring 20 exclusive recipes that you won’t find anywhere else. Starting in March 2026, we’ll be hitting the road with a cookbook tour across the US. Think press events, exclusive gigs, curated dinners—you’ll want to keep an eye out for all the exciting things coming your way!

These recipes are exclusive to the book and won’t be available online! All the more reason to get on that waitlist!
