NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Joshua Weissman is back with a bold and exciting new cookbook that will take your cooking to an entirely different level!
Everyone knows flavor is important, right? But what's that secret sauce that turns eating into an unforgettable experience? It's the secret sauce that nobody seems to talk about enough—it's not flavor, it's texture! When flavor meets textures like creamy, chewy, or crunchy, the eating experience evolves into something entirely new and utterly fantastic. Flavor is one thing, but texture is what really makes the experience complete.
In Joshua Weissman: Texture Over Taste, Joshua Weissman introduces you to the elements of flavor, then uses stories and fun visualizations to dive deeper and teach you about the six fundamental textures that create some of the greatest food experiences you'll ever enjoy. Joshua then explores each texture through over 75 spectacular recipes. In the "Crunchy" chapter, you'll learn how to make recipes like the most amazing fried chicken you've ever tasted, french fries (of course), and arancini. "Chewy" is where you'll discover recipes like his personal never-been-shared recipe for New York bagels, jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles), and brown sugar boba tea. "Aerated" features a cheese foam, challah bourbon french toast casserole, and a lighter-than-air glazed donut. "Creamy" is where you'll indulge in one-pound-of-butter mashed potatoes, perfectly baked mac and cheese, and decadent tres leches. In "Fluid" you'll dive into juicy birria tacos, diner-style milkshakes, and matzo ball soup. Finally, "Fatty" features a 72-hour short rib with coffee caramel, hamachi crudo, and a Texas toast smashburger. Each chapter opens with an irreverent introduction to the featured texture that explains how it impacts flavor, written from the unique perspective that only Joshua can provide.
With Joshua Weissman, there is no compromising; he'll challenge you to think about cooking and food in an entirely different way. You'll experience cooking exactly as it's supposed to be—fun and maybe even a little dangerous!

      Building meals from scratch means never having to say you’re sorry in this bold collection from Weissman (The Slim Palate). Riding the latest wave of celebrity chefdom with some 5.5 million TikTok followers, the author brings his confident approach and opinionated outlook (“Pork chops are very important to me, and they should be important to you”) to print with more than 100 recipes. Weissman’s agenda to “stop putting the past on a pedestal” needs no apology and is well supported in this work, which encourages readers to develop their own sense of cooking intuition while maintaining a grasp of the basics. The first 80 pages are devoted to foundational recipes, including soup stocks and sandwich spreads, pickles, jams, and a bounty of breads. The remaining pages go about utilizing them in a variety of fairly complex entrées, sandwiches, and soups. Coconut broth and pickled red onions are but two of the components for a grilled branzino, while braised pulled pork soaks in a marinade of a dozen ingredients including orange juice and serrano chilies. Even fried brussels sprouts involve some 10 flavorings, among them fish sauce and ginger. If Weissman’s brusque charm does not quite translate kindly to the page, the impressive recipes he supplies certainly do.
