Cuisine (With Piscatorial) is the ninth studio album released by Australian electronic music group Severed Heads, issued in 1991. The album's lead single, "Twister", was released a year later.

Background

The compact disc edition of the album includes five extra tracks that the cassette edition lacked. Grouped as Piscatorial on the CD packaging, these five songs were recorded between 1988 and 1989 at a studio called dB Productions. The rest of the album (Cuisine, the first 13 tracks) was recorded between 1989 and 1991 at Terse Tapes in Sydney, Australia, except "Twister", which was recorded live in Riverdale, California.
