Eating Through Fusion Cuisine

Rebecca Angelou

Around the world, food is a representation of one’s culture by using local ingredients and techniques. The combinations of these recipes to create a unique dish are perfect (and delicious) examples of fusion cuisine. I explored the definition of fusion food: its connections to the cultural histories of colonialism and human migration, as well as innovations in culinary experiences.
Eating Through Fusion Cuisine is a website designed to showcase the importance of fusion food. The site includes my research into the topic, the resources I’ve collected along the way as a printable “menu” and reviews of fusion-food restaurants through immersive storytelling. It aims to effectively display the importance of food in all cultures to show how delicious and groundbreaking these dishes can be.
