Non-Asian Food

I know it seems somewhat eccentric to claim that Indian food is not "Asian" food, but the Asian food that this blog is devoted to has many differences from Indian food. The main one is Indian food's reliance on dairy products, which other Asian cuisines pass by. Indian food's reliance on spices is something that has influenced some Asian cuisines, but which is very different from others' approaches to seasoning: in China you can basically get by with garlic, ginger and onions and Japanese cooking is even more more restrained in the seasoning department.
