Morphology

new + cuisine

The adjective+noun composition 'new' + 'cuisine' yields a directly interpretable meaning—novel or unfamiliar food/culinary style—which a B1 learner who knows both words can derive. This compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English adjective + noun semantics, so any minor pragmatic ambiguity (e.g. 'new to me' vs. recently created) does not prevent straightforward understanding.

Etymology

New cuisine paints the image of a plate of food you have never seen, with new meaning 'not familiar' and cuisine meaning 'style of cooking'. That's why it is used for foods and cooking styles from other places that someone is trying for the first time.
