The Cookbook + Spice 6-pack Bundle

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

We do! You can search for our wholesalers using our store locator here. And if you are a wholesaler and don’t see yourself on the locator, please email wholesale@diasporaco.live and we will add you to this ASAP! Thank you!

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.

The cookbook is now available for purchase on our website (with some fun spice sets!) and in select stores close to you!. You can also order via Omnivore, Book Larder, Now Serving, Books Are Magic, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon!

You bet! We’re shipping this cookbook worldwide. That said, please note that shipping costs will be higher for some regions outside the US, UK, and EU. We’re doing everything we can to make this book accessible to as many people as possible, no matter where you are!

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.

These recipes are exclusive to the book and won’t be available online! All the more reason to order the book!

The Cookbook + Spice 6-Pack Bundle pairs The Diaspora Spice Co. Cookbook with six Indian cooking essentials from our single-origin range, so you can cook straight from the book using the ingredients it was written for. Together, they bring recipes, techniques, stories, and freshly harvested spices that make South Asian cooking more approachable, intuitive, and deeply flavorful.

Whether you're just beginning your South Asian cooking journey or have been making these dishes for years, this bundle is designed to help you get the most out of the cookbook. It also makes a thoughtful gift for curious home cooks, cookbook collectors, and anyone who loves learning through food.

The bundle includes six of our most-used pantry staples: Aranya Black Pepper, Pragati Turmeric, Jodhana Cumin, Nandini Coriander, Bindu Black Mustard, and Hariyali Fennel. You get a mix of whole seed spices for toasting and tempering alongside Indian powder spices, including our stone-ground turmeric. Together, they form the foundation of countless South Asian recipes and can be used well beyond the cookbook in everyday cooking.

Whole seed spices retain their essential oils and aroma much longer than pre-ground spices. Toasting or tempering them unlocks incredible depth of flavor, while grinding them fresh delivers a level of fragrance that is difficult to achieve with older, pre-ground spices. Keeping both whole seed spices and Indian powder spices in your pantry is an easy way to create more layered and vibrant flavors.

Absolutely. This bundle is more than a cookbook or a spice gift set. It is an invitation to cook. With beautifully written recipes, stories from our farm partners, and the spices those recipes were developed with, it is a cooking gift set that continues to inspire long after the first meal is made.
