Re: Italian/Asian Fusion

Thai/Italian is a delightful fusion. Thai is "the Italian" of Asia using many of the same ingredients:

garlic

basils

chiles/peppers

fish sauce/anchovies (remember garum?)

fresh seafood, meats, fowl & veggies

Try a pasta sauce for starters and go from there!

My friends have been trying to get me to join their book club but I just can't get myself to read books unless I'm REALLY interested. I kind of want to start a book club for cookbooks. People would read a specific cookbook and each pick a dish and have a dinner party using one of the recipes from the cookbook. And then we can discuss the writing style, type of food used, etc.

my answer was not there: I want a fusion dish. why? because you're the type of person that can pull it off. :-)

Beware: if you make your own pickles you will never want to eat store bought again. Crunchy and delicious.
