Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

I've made the sourdough bread from this book at least 30 times since I got it. It is much tastier than in stores! It really guides you through the whole process.

Although basic, this cookbook is really something you can use to get a good handle on a variety of flavours and ingredients in the kitchen. A simple cookbook from a simple man, which yields great results.Let's face it, not everyone wants to struggle with their phone while making cookies, or get distracted by a text while making ramen, so having a book on hand that not only looks stunning, but is easy to navigate and understand is an added bonus. The book is broken down into chapters ranging from simple pickling techniques and sides, to more complex dishes like tiramisu, all of which are explained clearly.As someone who spends a great deal of time in the kitchen this is a great way to shake up the bland plates you usually serve and reinvent flavour in the kitchen. As a first release from Josh it covers a staggering amount that you can take at your own pace and try.Sometimes you gotta throw an idea of what you think is good to make way for what it could become and this book is exactly that. It covers a lot of bases for a beginner while being something visually pleasing that a more experienced cook can look back on and maybe take a few ideas, which is what Josh and his team are all about. And anything else you wanna try or don't quite understand can easily be looked up on his YouTube channel, with recipes that carry across from one platform to another, just with a little more information.

the book itself is nicely put together but I would of loved to see more genuinely dinner recipes and less sandwiches… great images. I believe all the recipes in this book you can find on his website. So that leaves a question what’s the point in buying one? Don’t get me wrong it’s always nice to have a book and when cooking not to be stuck to your phone. Also the book does have some good basics in it.ContentsStaples from scratch-pickled anything-lacto-fermented vegetables-simple jams-nut butters-basic stock out of anything-pho broth-dashi-extracted animal fat-unsalted butter-compound butter-mozzarella-ricotta-chèvre-hot sauce-ketchup-pesto sauce-all-purpose barbecue sauce-mayonnaise-jalapeño salsa-flavoured mayo’s-ranch dressing-sauce gribiche-horseradish-chive cream-katsu sauceBreads & starches from scratch-sourdough starter-basic sourdough bread-big boy miche-my famous multipurpose dough-burger & sandwich buns-hot dog buns-dinner rolls-grocery store white bread-bagel loaf-cubano bread-fresh pasta-potato gnocchi-buttermilk biscuits-english muffins-flour tortillas-browned butter cornbread-ladyfingers-graham crackersBreakfast-perfect soft-boiled eggs-browned butter-basted fried eggs-breakfast sandwiches-eggs benedict-cinnamon toast-congee-hokkaido milk bread-cinnamon rolls-french toast-ricotta pancakes-salted butter & jam toast-Austin breakfast tacosAppetizers…or snacks-pretzel sticks-whipped ricotta garlic dip-cheese board that everyone will eat-smashed patatas bravas-avocado & egg toastFish-beer-battered fish-fried fish tacos-grilled branzino-the easiest crisp skin fish-parmesan & nut crushed salmon-maine-style lobster rolls-gravlax smorrebrodMeat-the perfect steak-mojo-braised pork-chicken parmesan-chicken katsu-perfect pork chops-chicken breasts that are actually good-restaurant-style duck breasts-mom’s chicken fried steak-roasted chicken-mom’s pot roast-chashu-chicken nuggetsPastas & sandwiches-pesto gnocchi-carbonara-cacio e pepe-cubanos-better than popeyes chicken sandwich-honey butter chicken biscuits-tuna melt allison’s heart-the perfect blt-grilled cheese-steak sandwiches-smash burgersVegetables & salads-fried brissels sprouts-charred kale-broccolini with toasted peanuts & chilli oil-esquites-the greatest caesar salad of your life-cobb salad-a respectable wedge saladSoup-mom’s chicken noodle soup-roasted mushroom soup with-garlic chantilly cream-french onion soup-beef pho-chicken tortilla soup-shoyu ramen-tomato soup-watermelon gazpacho-egg drop soupDessert-the simplest chocolate cake-sticky buns-key lime pie-banana hot fudge sundae-the ultimate chocolate chip cookie-coffee ice cream-tiramisu-russian tea cakes-strawberry shortcake-peanut butter cookies

I first came across Joshua at the beginning of 2020 as a Youtube channel that had food (yum), jokes and a strong theme of enjoyment and lightheartedness. Over the next year (and a bit) I really grew to love watching Josh's "but better" and "but cheaper" and of course his baking. While the world started it's sourdough journey so did I, but under the parasocial teaching of someone who knows how to cook but also knows how to have shed-loads of fun, make a well placed dirty joke and to always name his dough a stupid name.The Cookbook loses none of Josh's humour or love of food - the concepts of taking what food you love and building an appreciation by making it yourself to really build a love of food and cooking are throughout. The recipes are build-able, starting simple and giving you room to grow and experiment with the building blocks of tried and tested recipes and are presented and shot in beautiful and inviting ways.This book would be perfect for those who enjoy perfecting the pillars of good food but also for those venturing out into the world of cooking for the first time. For me Josh reignited my love of cooking by bringing me back to those staples I thought I had down ( I can cook a steak, right?) to challenging if a fast-food joint burger can really stand up to one I lovingly made myself (Hello "better than Popeyes chicken sandwich" and "smash burgers").So Papa, thank you for making this book.But, do you know what's stacked better than an Amazon warehouse?........ B-roll!

As always with Amazon, the product arrived on time and quickly.The book was a present for one of my sons who enjoys cooking. It is great fun, he has been supplying us with delicious ice creams made from the most unusual ingredients

Very good book, got it because I'm a fan of his channel, used it already for a friend's birthday meal, was a hit 👌. However it is important to note that this is not a recipe book if you're looking for recipes for dishes. It does contain good recipes for bread and sauces etc. but this is not a recipe book for complete meals or dishes.

I love this guy. This book has some dangerously delicious recipes. If you wanna eat like an absolute KING, look no further.

I've been cooking from this cookbook since I bought it, and it's a priceless tool for those looking to make their own bread/condiments/accompaniments. I know I will continue to go back to this book to learn more, and hopefully feel confident enough to start my own bread. The fish tacos and Cubanos (using the mojo pork in the book) have been my favorites so far, but I'm not done making literally everything in this book yet!The ingredients are simple, and so far none of the recipes I've used have been too complicated or require you to spend all day in the kitchen for one meal. I look forward to purchasing his second book, and becoming a better cook!

This cook book is GREAT!Joshua just makes you realize how easy it is to make a lot of your own food at home, such as butter, bread, sauces, stocks, pickles, etc...It also gives out great recipes, easy to do, good explanations, and I just love his humor!When I showed his recipe for the "Better Than Popeye Chicken Sandwich" my girlfriend went : IMPOSSIBLE!Now, she wants me to make it twice a week! hahahaGet this cook book if you're starting to cook more in the kitchen, or even if you're experienced.

Excelentes receitas e imagens

muy buen libro muy bonito y muy buenas recetas

It's really nice, that all the recipes can be made from scratch, and this book contains a lot of basics. I loved everything that I have already cooked or baked, and I look forward to the next recipes!
