My favs are baby octipus in tomato sauce and fried white bait, but many others like wild mushroom risotto which I helped make in a friend's restaurant.

Aussie fusion is the great modern world food and our chefs are in high demand around the world because of it. Italy has a great tradition and I cook Italian at home all the time ( You don't have seven years with a Napolitan girl and not come away with recipe's! ) ... but the modern world cuisine is Aussie Fusion.

Members fernmeister Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 There is some very good new Australian food and it has made an impact, especially people like Tetsuya... ...but, if there is an emerging world cuisine, it is either Tapas, Sushi, or an Indian curry.

But these have always been mainstays...they're traditional cuisine. Hmmm...tapas.Actually, hmmm...sushi.I'm not as big on Indian, but it's good occasionally.

Members TIKILOCKEDOUT Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think the curry is a popular alternative in the UK but outside the UK and Indian diaspora it is not a rising world cuisine --- when we think of cuisine generally we are talking about how chefs shape the type of food that is becoming popular in home cooking and in the resteraunt scene at large ... you see allot of sushi joint around but they have more of a fast food status these days than anything else ... tapas is not huge in Australia or anywhere else apart from Spanish diasapora countries ... they really don't make that big a blip on the radar. Australian fusion is informing how cuisine in the world of food is being approached - it is a revolution in food as opposed to an existing ethnic cuisine.

Ahhh yes. Tapas ranks nowhere in the cities I have visited of late ... it's barely on the map in Sydney or London the last time I was there. I'll have to disagree with you on the importance of Sushi as being the big cuisine - but agree that it is street food fashionable ... Indian is very popular in the UK but I don't see a hell of allot of it outside there and the Indian diaspora nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted July 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2006 Indian will never become even as popular as Chinese has been for decades everywhere.Japanese is a little bit the same for me...it's never really gotten huge in Oz apart from fast food style.As much as I like tapas (and I've had lots from a Belgian chef friend who specialises in it), I just can't see it going beyond it's limited boundaries.I don't know about Oz fusion taking over, but fusion heavily based on Asian cuisines like Thai and Vietnamese have limitless boundaries. The flavour palette of these cuisines leaves Indian and Japanese in its dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
