Joshua Weissman: Texture Over Taste

Fresh from his success with the #1 New York Times bestseller, Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook, Joshua Weissman returns with a groundbreaking and avant-garde culinary masterpiece that is sure to elevate your cooking game to unprecedented heights. In Joshua Weissman: Texture Over Taste, Weissman dives deep into the often overlooked but critical component of extraordinary cooking—texture.

While flavour is undoubtedly integral to cooking, it is the interplay of flavour and texture that can truly transform a dish into an exquisite culinary experience. In this innovative cookbook, Joshua Weissman explores how different textures—creamy, crispy, crunchy, and more—can elevate flavours to create dishes that are not just tasted, but experienced.

The book is organised into six enlightening chapters, each dedicated to a specific texture that complements the diverse range of flavours. You will firstly delve into the world of "Crunch," mastering recipes such as the ultimate fried chicken, classic french fries, and delectable arancini. Moving on to "Chewy," you'll craft authentic New York bagels, savour fiery Jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles), and enjoy the unique texture of boba tea.

Next, the "Aerated" chapter will have you whipping up light and airy delights such as a cheese foam, a sumptuous challah bourbon French toast casserole, and ethereal glazed donuts. The "Creamy" chapter is a haven for comfort food lovers, featuring dishes like 1-pound butter potatoes, gooey mac and cheese, and the indulgent tres leches.

In the "Fluid" section, you'll find yourselves lost in the rich flavours of birria tacos, thick and creamy diner-style milkshakes, and the heart-warming matzo ball soup. Finally, the "Fatty" chapter boasts recipes like a luxurious 72-hour short rib with coffee caramel, refined hamachi crudo, and the mouth-watering Texas toast smashburger.

As always with Joshua Weissman, there's no such thing as a half-measure. These recipes challenge conventional cooking techniques and push the boundaries of culinary creativity, making cooking a thrilling and enjoyable adventure.
