FLAVOURS

The New Fusion Fusion cooking is hot again. This time around, it’s more playful, less cheffy, even a little cheeky. Think late-night munchie mash-ups that ignore (almost) every old-school kitchen rule and where the only ask is big flavour. It’s being driven by irreverent third-culture cooks, social media stars, and grocery apps delivering global goods in a flash. And we’re all the better for it.

DELICIOUS SALTED COCONUT CRUMBS TOP THIS GREEN CURRY CHICKEN AND SQUASH PIE. THERE’S PRETTY MUCH NOTHING AUTHENTICALLY THAI ABOUT ITS COTTAGE PIE FORM, BUT ONE BITE AND YOU’LL FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT.
