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.

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.
