Food has had to evolve, through the cooking techniques, the combining of ingredients, and different cultural contacts.The precise origin of Fusion cuisine is unknown but is believed that the French put it on the map. They were fusing Vietnamese-Chinese and French cuisine in the 1970s, by the early 1980's the rest of Europe and the Americas had begun to do the same. Other words used to describe Fusion Cuisine are, new world cuisine, and culinary globalization.
