The culinary culture known as 'fusion cuisine' in the world has passed into Turkish as 'fusion cuisine'. Fusion, as a word, means mixing, merging. In short, we can say that fusion cuisine is a 'synthesis' created by combining different culinary cultures.
fusion kitchen for starters
When we say fusion cuisine, we are talking about the creation of new and relatively different flavors by bringing together details from world cuisines and 'fusing' them.
For example, the fact that a Far Eastern dish is prepared with a South American cooking method and served with French sauces is a solid example of fusion cuisine.
When this is the case, of course, strange-sounding food names may come up. Although tasteless presentations come to mind when you think of 'soy ice cream' or 'curry rice pudding', fusion dishes can be very delicious under the control of master hands.
To give a little more detailed information
The first of these is a mixture of dishes from nearby regions belonging to different cultures. In the second way, which is also called eclectic, a food culture is decisive, but the techniques or materials of other cuisines are also used. Finally, it is the gathering of all world cuisines without any culinary determinant.' she says.
Great pleasure for those who make it, but for those who eat...
Fusion cuisine is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining work areas when viewed through the eyes of chefs. It requires skill and creativity. Every chef has the urge to constantly try new styles. Thanks to the fusion cuisine, every chef has eroded the urge to always offer new dishes.
However, the eaters may not be as happy as the chefs in this regard. Because the portions are very small in plates prepared with fusion style. You know, it is not something to be tolerated, especially in societies like us, who are fond of eating. Also, in restaurants that serve fusion dishes, fusion dishes are always a little more 'salty' than the other flavors on the menu. In short, if you are not a gourmet or if you do not have a special taste in pursuit of new tastes, 'eating less and paying more' does not make sense.
So, how does fusion cuisine suit us?
In fact, fusion is, in a sense, the globalization of food. From this point of view, the doors of Turkish cuisine have been open to fusion cuisine for centuries.
Since the cuisine of a multinational society like the Ottoman Empire is also multinational, we are trying to say that we are accustomed to dishes fed from different cultures. The Ottoman, which has a wide range of foods in terms of surface area and varied seasonally, reflected this diversity in its cuisine. Since we are a society born from the Ottoman Empire as a culture, Turkish cuisine also provides this diversity.
On the other hand, since the globality of the food culture is no longer indisputable, we always apply fusion techniques in our homes. For example, when you add a pinch of curry to the meat sauté on the right back fire of your stove, which you prepare by taking the ingredients out of your own refrigerator and on which you drizzle pure olive oil from your hometown, you are now making a small entrance into the fusion cuisine.
As a result, examples of fusion cuisine, which can easily lead people to be prejudiced, may not always produce very bad results.
