California cuisine is a style of cuisine marked by an interest in fusion cuisine (integrating disparate cooking styles and ingredients) and in the use of freshly prepared local ingredients. The food is typically prepared with strong attention to presentation. The term California cuisine arose as a result of culinary movements in the last decades and should not be confused with the traditional foods of California.
