FUSION COOKING |
|
It has nothing to do with chemistry or nuclear physics, it doesn't involve specially designed cooking instruments or making burgers with a blowtorch but we use blowtorch to brulee the creme brulee.
What is "fusion cooking?" It means combining ingredients and techniques from around the world to achieve exciting flavors. It is a technique of using flavor blends from around the world to create a new twist to everyday commonly cooked foods. Fusion cooking is a style that takes the best elements of various ethnic/regional cuisines to create new dishes. In its most conservative form, that might mean introducing an unusual ingredient to a traditional dish; cooking a meal that you have made a thousand times, but adding a spice or sauce from another culture to see how it will taste. More adventurous forms of Fusion may include multiple techniques and ingredients, encompassing a variety of cultures.
Fusion cooking has always been around, such as the influx of chilies from Latin and South America to Asia. Today it is hyped as a new and novel way of "fusing" classic cooking with Caribbean, Mexican, Latin, South American and Asian.Here in this 8-week course we merge cuisines from around the world to produce some appetizing moments to satisfy your hungry palette. We prepare and eat a delicious 3/4 course meal. Come hungry! An organized handouts of recipes, pantry basics, food glossary, hints and tips will be provided.
