Culinary BlendsTweak the old classic dishes to create a host of new flavours, textures by mixing unexpected/unusual ingredients to offer culinary blends to suit special diets or fit local tastes. Twisting not only breaks up monotony; but rather variations bring about changes such as turning a mainstream heavy meal into a lighter version. For instance, black beans and red peppers incorporated with the flavours of smoky chipotle chile in pasta is a perfect fusion of Mex-Italian dish. Similarly, a mild flavoured tikka masala sauce with roasted vegetables and cottage cheese can create an innovative Asian flavoured pasta dish. With diversification in world cuisines people are always on the outlook out for such changes. Take for instance the example of chillies. Its fresh and unique flavour figures prominently in defining a recipe's characteristic. Though originally a mainstay of South-western and Spanish cuisine its use has been gradually accepted in other parts of Europe. Now days you can find chillies being used in almost everything right from scones, bagels to cheeseburgers. Watch out for the New Mexican cuisine which uses a good amount of red and green chillies as opposed to the traditional Mexican style. Regional variations reflect a fusion of cultures, using traditional cooking methods based on local ingredients. For instance, the New Mexican cooking style uses very little or no cumin and jalapenos, as compared to the Native Texas style The Tex-Mex Cookbook: A History in Recipes and Photos  .
Similarly, it does not use rice, avocado and vegetables like they do In the Californian way The Expanding Light Cookbook : Vegetarian Favorites from California's Premier Yoga Retreat . Even the traditional herbs and tortillas are handled differently from the original Mexican way. Likewise, the traditional red Italian lasagna can be replaced with the white sauce, made from a blend of Italian seasonings, garden fresh vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, peppers etc The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook: 350 Recipes  . A new accent with unexpected ingredients, textures and unique flavours marks the new age culinary blends. Move to food for thought Move to quiche recipes Return to homepage |
