A cuisine (from French cuisine, meaning "cooking; culinary art; kitchen;" itself from Latin coquina, meaning the same; itself from the Latin verb coquere, meaning "to cook") is a specific set of cooking traditions and practices, often associated with a place of origin. Religious food laws can also exercise a strong influence on cuisine. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. (For example, the "Asian" dish chop suey clearly reflected the adaptation of Chinese immigrant cooking styles to the different ingredients available in North America.)

It's the area certain dishes come from. Like, there's French cuisine, Italian cuisine, Chinese cuisine, Southern cuisine, etc... It's a style of food.
