Fresh off his #1 bestseller, , superstar chef Joshua is back with a completely new cookbook that takes cooking to an entirely different level! This exclusive B&N edition features an incredible selection of recipes that will challenge how you think about food and how you think about cooking. *** Hey, everyone knows flavor is important, right? But what's that secret sauce that turns flavor into something even more amazing? 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 makes the experience complete. In , Joshua Weissman introduces you to the elements of flavor, but then digs deeper to show you how flavor interacts with six fundamental textures to create 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 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 1-pound butter potatoes, perfectly baked mac and cheese, and decadent tres leches. In "Fluid" you'll dive into 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. And in this , you'll get a behind-the-scenes peek to see what it was like to photograph this cookbook. Joshua also shares some personal thoughts on life and cooking, as well as his motivations for writing this cookbook. 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!
