regional cuisines
Area-specific cooking traditions
Regional cuisines are the distinctive food traditions associated with particular geographic areas—Cajun cooking from Louisiana, Sichuan from southwestern China, Tuscan from central Italy.
Each develops from local ingredients, climate, history, and cultural influences.
The term often appears in discussions of authenticity: The restaurant specializes in regional cuisines of Mexico rather than Tex-Mex.
