Cuisine (from French cuisine, "cooking; culinary art; kitchen"; ultimately from Latin coquere, "to cook") is a specific set of cooking traditions and practices, often associated with a specific culture. It is often named after the region or place where its underlining culture is present. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. Religious food laws can also exercise a strong influence on cuisine. A traditional cuisine is a coherent tradition of food preparation that rises from the daily lives and kitchens of a people over an extended period of time in a specific region of a country and which has notable distinctions from the cuisine of the country as a whole. r style="clearboth" />

While everyone can find something unique about Indian food, be it the curry which is a complex but unique blend of spices or masala or the exotic looking lamb and chicken dishes, any attempt to pin it down has been futile so far.

8. How To Revitalize Your Potatoes This Thanksgiving
November 01, 2009
Thanksgiving is curious; though it only takes place once a year, it’s still entirely possible to be sick of its cuisine once it rolls around.

Many families make their own favorite recipes for Christmas and other holidays, so it seems especially strange that there’s so little variety during a holiday largely devoted to cooking.
