Ever since turmeric grew trendy in 2016, Diaspora Co. has been dedicated to the most ethical and sustainable sourcing, farming and consumption of it. As we compile recipes for our cookbook, documenting the food culture and journey of this golden spice across the world, we're so excited to be sharing these recipes as well as some from our founder Sana Javeri Kadri's childhood in India with the 18 Reasons community through a hands on cooking class and dinner.
