fusion cuisine
Blended cooking traditions
Fusion cuisine blends culinary traditions from different cultures into a single dish or menu.
A restaurant might combine Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients, or French sauces with Vietnamese flavors.
The term emerged in the 1970s as chefs began deliberately crossing cultural boundaries: The fusion cuisine featured Korean tacos and wasabi aioli.
Critics sometimes dismiss fusion as gimmicky when combinations seem forced rather than thoughtful.
