fusion cuisines
Mixed culinary traditions
Fusion cuisines blend culinary traditions from different cultures or regions, combining ingredients, techniques, or flavors that wouldn't traditionally appear together: The restaurant's fusion cuisine mixes Japanese and Peruvian influences.
The term emerged in the 1970s and 80s as chefs began deliberately crossing cultural boundaries.
Fusion can range from subtle combinations to bold experiments, sometimes criticized as inauthentic but celebrated when it creates genuinely new flavors.
