Morphology

fusion + cooking

The meaning is directly derivable from the known constituents: 'fusion' (joining styles) + 'cooking' (preparing food) yields a style of cooking that combines different culinary traditions. This compositional pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common (e.g., 'fusion cuisine'), so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the MWE.

Etymology

Fusion cooking comes from the image of joining different food traditions, so imagine a chef pouring a spicy Asian sauce into a French stew and the two flavors becoming one new taste. That's why fusion cooking means 'mixing ingredients and techniques from different cuisines to make new dishes'.
