Fusion Food Cookbook
What is "fusion cooking"? It's brushing skewers of beef tenderloin with a traditional Caribbean jerk barbecue sauce; matching spicy Southwest fried chicken with a sunny ginger-apricot sauce; or drizzling watermelon and sweet red onion salad with a raspberry cabernet vinaigrette. In short, fusion cooking means combining ingredients and techniques from around the world to achieve exciting flavors. Fusion Food Cookbook celebrates the new American cuisine, in which distinctive seasonings and cooking styles from Asia, Mexico, the American Southwest, New Orleans, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean are incorporated into familiar home cooking. Highlighting the vivid flavors of these diverse ethnic and regional traditions, authors Hugh Carpenter and Teri Sandison define a major trend in American cooking, showing us how to mix and match seasonings and cooking techniques and encouraging us to be more creative in our own cooking. The 150 flavor-intense recipes in Fusion Food Cookbook require no hard-to-find ingredients or special equipment. More than 100 color photographs by acclaimed food and wine photographer Teri Sandison capture the vivid colors and cross-cultural style of the inspired recipes.

Every recipe that we have tried in the book has been outstanding. The recommended combinations are excellent and always compliment each other very well. It is really easy to prepare a fantastic gourmet meal for dinner parties. This is one of the very best cookbooks we have every owned and we recommend it to all of our friends.
Everything I've tried in this (lots) is A PLUS PLUS.

Whenever I want to astound someone with food that is uniquely superb I reach for this book. My husband and I rate all recipes that we try and only the ones that get an A plus get repeated. All that we've tried in this book are A plus. A little bit of work required for most, actually a lot, but well worth it.
Passes the test.

I use a simple test for every cookbook I consider for purchase. If the first four recipes are workable, I buy. If not, back on the shelf. This one is a keeper.I have three other books by these authors. But this book features more daring recipes, and the effect is, overall, more stunning. It has a number of dumplings recipes, which are all great. There are not many books featuring fusion, but if this is the future, I'm buying the ticket.
A creative and unusual cook book; great food!
