fusion dishes
Cross-cultural cuisine creations
Fusion dishes combine culinary traditions from different cultures in a single preparation.
The term emerged in the 1970s and 80s as chefs began deliberately blending techniques and ingredients across cuisines: The menu featured Korean-Mexican fusion dishes like bulgogi tacos.
Fusion cooking ranges from thoughtful cross-cultural synthesis to gimmicky mashups.
