Future Fusion Cuisine
either we save the planet and become healthier in the process, or everything dies (including us!)
I think of these recipes as representing a Future Fusion cuisine, whereby ‘future’ has two meanings: the future of the planet’s ecosystems — secured through more sustainable agricultural practices — and the future of our own lives and bodies, fostered by eating for longevity and health. Inspirations are taken from many international culinary traditions, and indeed it is highly likely that in any given day or even in a single meal, multiple cultural influences will be experienced.
The intention of this kind of global recipe design is not so much about trying hard to imitate popular cuisines or even to attempt cultural appropriation. Rather, establishing strong continuity with pre-existing dietary traditions, habits and our general likes when it comes to food is considered a strategic and effective way of making this kind of dietary practice, and the resulting health benefits, long lasting and permanently established in the routines of our lives.
