Globalisation has changed the outlook of people, in almost every walk of life. Recently, there is a new socio-culture based on fusion. And food is receiving the most attention. With the changing taste of people, there is a demand for more exotic recipes. Basically, fusion creates an opportunity, to give regional touch to traditional cuisines, in creating interesting recipes.
Fusion recipes have evolved in different ways. Firstly, an original dish is combined with several ingredients from different cuisines and regions. Secondly, there is also a possibility of combining regional and sub regional cuisines to create a new recipe. This can be especially done in the case of Asian cuisine. Lastly, mixing of ingredients and flavours of one cuisine and basing it on food forms of another like are sweet and sour sauce recipe or American chop suey. Both are a product of American Chinese cooking. This mix and match for recipes can be challenging for a cook. Therefore, one needs to be well versed with different cooking techniques. Know various ingredients, their tastes and texture and if they can inter blend.
Despite the success of fusion foods, it is still viewed with criticism, by some. They hold the belief that classic dishes symbolise the culinary finesse, while fusion undermines it. But after all cooking is an art. And with time every art evolves and changes. Those who understand this appreciate culinary innovation and become a part of it.
Innovation has always lead the world, we must embrace change and get experimental with our food. Find lots of simple vegetarian recipes at simply vegetarian website, created by a food lover inspired by fusion.
