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 in presence. For example, Beijing cuisine refers to the cooking styles and foods either popular in or originated from Beijing, China. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. For example, the American-Chinese dish chop suey clearly reflected the adaptation of Chinese cuisine to the ingredients available in North America. Another example is Mexican cuisine, which even in the neighboring countries does not reflect the unique tastes provided in Mexico due to spices and fresh ingredients not available across borders. 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. Some examples of great regional variance can be seen in the cuisines of France, Italy, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Turkey, India and China
