Outline of Cuisines

Cuisine (pronounced: kwi-'zeen, from French: cuisine, 'kitchen'; and ultimately from Latin coquere, 'to cook') is a style or method of cooking, especially as characteristic of a particular country, region, or establishment.

A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. Cuisines can be classified according to the regions such as Asian cuisine, African cuisine, European cuisine, American cuisine, and Oceanian cuisine. Each region has its unique style of cooking and a variety of dishes and food.
