Adventure awaits your guests. Fusion cuisine blends elements from different culinary traditions resulting in unique and exotic combinations that have a familiar feeling. Combining the flavors of two very different cuisines, this menu reinterprets classic Asian ingredients with a contemporary American twist.

Start with Christopher Lee’s Crispy Pork and Shiitake Mushroom Dumplings (watch video). Assemble the dumplings ahead of time or involve your guests in the preparation. Choose fresh, good-quality tuna since the tuna for the main dish is seared on the outside but rare on the inside. Serve jasmine or green tea with the meal. Check markets and shops for inexpensive, Asian-inspired platters and bowls to add a finishing touch to the experience.

              Seared Sesame Tuna with Lemon Grass and Lychee Coulis

              Chefs are pairing Asian lychee fruit and lemongrass in seafood dishes, desserts and beverages. In this recipe, a lightly acidic and mildly sweet lemongrass and lychee sauce complements sesame and panko-crusted tuna.

              Spiced Pomegranate and Orange Salad

              Perfect for entertaining, this salad is as much a feast for the eyes as it is the palate. Allspice and cinnamon combine with the sweet, tart flavor of pomegranate juice to create a special vinaigrette for mixed greens. Fresh oranges, Cinnamon Glazed Walnuts and pomegranate seeds complete this spectacular starter.

              Vanilla Crème Brûlée

              A small hand-held blowtorch, made for use in the kitchen, is useful for caramelizing the sugar topping. Or, use the broiler to brown the sugar topping.

              These cookies are rich with cardamom, cinnamon and ground cloves -- spices found in Chai, a spiced tea beverage.
