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 . I n 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!
