A Weissman once said...
"...can we please stop with the barrage of 2.3 second meals that only need 1 ingredient? I get it...we're busy. But let's refocus on the fact that beautifully crafted burgers don't grow on trees."

Great cooking does, and should, take time. How can you know if something is your favourite if 50 to 80 percent of the stuff you've been eating was made by someone else? Butter, condiments, cheese, pickles, patties, and buns. For a superior and potentially even life-changing experience, you can (and should, to be honest) make these from scratch.

While you're at it, give your own twist. As Joshua would say, "If you don't like blue cheese, then don't use blue cheese." With no regrets, excuses, or apologies, Joshua Weissman will instruct you how with his irreverent humour, a little bit of light razzing, and over 100 perfectly delectable recipes.

If you love to host and entertain; if you like a good project; if fast food or kitchen shortcuts keeps letting your tastebuds down; then Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook is your ideal kitchen companion.

Product description

Review

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.--Publishers Weekly

Not only do these recipes teach the fundamentals of cooking, but they also are designed to impress and are perfect for first-time entertainers and anyone building a weeknight repertoire. Designed for the new home cook, Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook delivers solid instruction, tasty recipes, and plenty of twists for experienced chefs to enjoy as well."--Booklist

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.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2021

Fist thing, pre order price 2 months in advance for £20 and then first week of going on sale the book goes on a deal at £15 - that doesn't seem that fair to me.
My husband and I are huge fans and we both agree that the book is quite basic.
We feel like some of the recipes like “how to boil a perfect egg” , “cooking a fried egg on butter” or “butter and jam on toast” are just too simple and unnecessary - maybe use those ideas/methods in a nicer recipe instead or include them on a “beginners” or “basics of cooking” book.
We cook often and perhaps is just down to our personal expectations…. But we did expect to see a wider variety of recipes that he hasn’t done on his channel before.
Most pictures look like screenshots from his videos.

A "but better" take on the all-in-one cookbook

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2021

Verified Purchase

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!

Absolutely love this book. Fantastic recipes and beautiful pictures. I am so grateful for the metric measurements as well, a big thank you for that! I have been following Joshua’s YouTube channel for a while and have baked/prepared countless breads etc. following his recipes. I swear ALL are faultless and many have become our family’s regular “must-have”s. Especially the bread recipes, I call them magic recipes. Just superb quality and flavour. I can keep raving forever, but instead I’ll just say love the book and many congrats to Joshua for his first book release. Will be excitedly waiting for the next one :)

More than just recipes!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2021

I have not tested every recipe yet. Not even close! I’ve only had it a week. But I have read through it. This is a book for everyone. I would recommend to use the book as the author intended and start from the beginning. The book builds on the basics. And that knowledge and skill will carry over to the recipes further along in the book. Even experienced cooks will enjoy using new ingredients and trying new techniques.
The book itself seems well made and is easy to follow. The passion of the author for quality and form and wanting to share that passion to others comes across from page one. There are hints of the comedic powerhouse cook on YouTube but this book is the real deal. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about food and it’s preparation, whether a novice or experienced. It belongs on everyone’s bookshelf.

Amazing cookbook and good for vegetarians

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of making everything from scratch and if you are too, then this cookbook is for you. The majority of recipes interwine, so you can use some garlic butter in another dish, it's very flexible. I'm a vegetarian and buying the book mainly to support Joshua's recipes which I already am a fan of made me fear the lack of vegetarian options, however there are plentiful options for vegetarians and a lot of the meat options can be substituted, this was a nice surprise considering many of his videos contain a large amount of meat.

Like the man himself, totally recommend!

After being long awaited (pre order…) I finally received the book. It’s a Brilliant cookbook! The amount of care and attention that went into it is incredible. From basics to advanced dishes, with a flair of the ‘Papa’ himself, he brings us on an adventure to become better cooks but adds funny twists along the way. This book is not for beginners but for people who are confident in the kitchen who want to get even better. I would highly recommend it. If you like his YouTube videos you will love the book. And if you don’t know his YouTube videos you are missing out!
This book is a real reflection of his personality but holds so much cooking knowledge I’m sure it will become my main ‘food bible’ for key recipes!
