What is Fusion Cooking?
Here are some definitions:
Fusion Cooking is taking the locally available ingredients & adjust it to their ethnic
taste.
Fusion cooking is a culinary method that integrates various regional cooking
styles in order to create innovative new tastes.
Fusion cooking is the art of mixing ingredients and preparation styles from
different countries and cultures into a unique dish of flavour.
Fusion cuisine is when you combine particular ethnic cuisines and fuse them into
one.
There are many definitions of Fusion Cooking, but the one that I think
describes it best is:
Fusion Cooking is about experimentation. Pushing the boundaries of cooking
styles by combining ethnic ingredients and techniques. It’s about having fun with
your food and the enjoyment you get from the taste of your food.
This E-Book is not a cookery course, or any great authority
concerning culinary skills.
In fact I know very little about cooking except for what I do in my own
kitchen.
Yes, I have followed the recipes to the letter like everyone else and
sometimes it comes out like the picture in the book, but most of the
time I am disappointed with the comparison.
Fusion is your own food looking how you want it to look, It might be a
snack, a sweet, party food or a full blown diner. But it’s yours and you
like it. Hopefully if you are entertaining guests they too will enjoy what
you have created.

This E-Book is a collection of Fusion recipes to get you started on
your own journey of Fusion Food discovery. Some of the dishes are
very simple whilst others are complex. You will find snacks and
sweets along with full blow dinner party or ideal BBQ recipes.
Hopefully these recipes will give you ideas of your own to try. Or you
can just use these recipes and discover which ones you like the best.
There are few serving suggestions and you will need to adjust
ingredient amounts for your own needs. Remember that these are
dishes from all over the world so some ingredients may be unfamiliar
to you.
Don’t let this put you off trying the dish. Find your local equivalent or
why not just replace those ingredients with something else.
Be prepared to have some disasters in the kitchen, BUT also be
prepared to discover some wonderfully tasty dishes that will be
unique to yourself.
Hopefully this E-Book will provide you with some ideas to change
some of the foods you cook normally and change them by
experimenting with the tastes you enjoy most.
Here’s and example to get your mind thinking about what you can do.
How about taking a traditional German dish and adding the flavours
of India or take a typical Italian dish and create flavours of the Orient.
Some people say you need to be careful of interchanging flavours in
foods, BUT if it tastes good go for it.
Remember there are no rules to creating your own dishes just let
your imagination go wild. Imagine what it was like to be a 5 year old
trying to help your mother in the kitchen.
What would you have cooked!!!!!
