    Dec 17 2025
    Claire maps the fusion landscape from Asian fusion's subcategories including Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei tiradito, Chinese-Mexican combinations, and Thai-French elegance, to Latin fusion spanning Japanese-Brazilian and Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish boils, to Indian fusion meeting Mexican with naan tacos and tandoori carnitas. Understand the science of successful fusion through flavor bridges like ginger appearing across cultures, technique transfer applying French mother sauces to Asian flavors, and the umami connection where fish sauce, soy sauce, miso, and Parmesan all provide similar savory depth. Master iconic fusion recipes with detailed instructions: Roy Choi's Korean BBQ tacos with gochujang marinade ratios and assembly balance, Nobu's miso black cod with three-day marinade method, ramen burger with crispy noodle buns, Thai basil pesto pasta adding fish sauce for depth, Indian pizza using curry sauce and naan, banh mi burger combining five-spice pork with pickled vegetables, and matcha tiramisu where green tea replaces espresso naturally.

  • Fusion - Global Cuisine Meets Innovation - COLLISION – THE BIRTH AND EVOLUTION OF FUSION CUISINE
    Dec 17 2025
    Claire explores fusion cuisine's deep roots, revealing that fusion existed long before the term through the Silk Road's spice and technique exchanges, Portuguese influence on Japanese tempura, British Raj creating Anglo-Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, and Chinese-American cuisine born from immigration necessity. Discover modern fusion's birth in the nineteen seventies and eighties when Wolfgang Puck's smoked salmon pizza at Spago revolutionized fine dining in nineteen eighty-two, Roy Yamaguchi defined Hawaiian regional cuisine, and Nobu Matsuhisa pioneered Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei with legendary black cod miso. Learn about the nineteen nineties fusion boom when every menu had wasabi mashed potatoes, followed by the backlash as critics denounced "confusion cuisine" for superficial mixing and cultural appropriation without credit. Finally, understand fusion reimagined through identity-based cooking where chefs like Roy Choi with his Kogi truck Korean-Mexican tacos cook their own multicultural stories rather than borrowing randomly.
