Eating Through Fusion Cuisine

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: it is connected 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. Eating Through Fusion Cuisine aims to effectively display the importance of food in all cultures to show how delicious and groundbreaking these dishes can be.

Along with designing the final outcome, I spent multiple months in the research phase, where I explored my specific topic and collected the necessary information for me to design a cohesive project.

This included a 10 page thesis proposal, a “alongside a "Pecha Kucha” where I presented my proposal in which can be viewed in this youtube video...

...As well as a 20 page book where I documented my full breakdown of my process including the beginning stages, my hurdles, etc. which is viewable here.
