Joshua Weissman: Texture Over Taste

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Fresh off his #1 New York Times bestseller, Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook, Joshua Weissman is back with a bold and exciting new cookbook that will take your cooking to an entirely different level!

Everyone knows flavour is important, right? But what turns flavour into something even more spectacular? Texture! When flavour meets textures like creamy, crispy, or crunchy, the taste experience can evolve into something entirely new and utterly fantastic. Joshua Weissman introduces you to elements of flavour, but then digs deeper by explaining how flavour interacts with six fundamental textures.

Your first introduction is to "Crunch," where you'll learn how to make recipes, including the most amazing fried chicken you'll ever taste, French fries (of course), and arancini. Next is "Chewy," where you'll make recipes including New York bagels, Jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles), and boba tea. "Aerated" features recipes like cheese foam, challah bourbon French toast casserole, and a lighter-than-air glazed doughnut. The "Creamy" chapter features 1-pound butter potatoes, mac and cheese, and tres leches. In "Fluid," you'll indulge in birria tacos, diner-style milkshakes, and matzo ball soup. Finally, the "Fatty" chapter features a 72-hour short rib with coffee caramel, hamachi crudo, and a Texas toast smashburger.

With Joshua, you know there is no halfway; these recipes will challenge you and make cooking what it's supposed to be—fun and maybe a little dangerous!

Here's what you'll find inside:

  • Six amazing texture chapters, each with an insightful introduction that explains how each texture interacts with flavour.
  • Over 75 new and bold recipes, made in the no-holds-barred way you expect from Joshua.
  • Incredible photography and plenty of the push-the-limits energy that can only come from one of the biggest cooking stars on the internet.

About the Author

Joshua Weissman isn't your average culinary genius. He's chef-y, he's eccentric, and he's a lot over-the-top in everything he does-from curating energetic and engaging food entertainment, to constantly developing his massive repertoire of original recipes, to cooking everything (seriously, everything) from scratch. He has an abounding love of food and proper technique. After nearly a decade of cooking professionally, his passion has been fueled by working with some of the greatest fine dining restaurants in the south-central region of the US. He notably cooked at the James Beard Award-winning restaurant Uchiko, where he spent time focusing on the finest details of cuisine, training other cooks and chefs, and diving deep into the territory of precise Japanese cookery and fermentation. Joshua can be seen chopping it up for millions of fans on his popular Youtube channel, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. He currently resides in Texas and plans to push the world of food farther than it has ever gone before.
