Description

1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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." Ironically this sounds a lot like he's trying to convince you to cook, but he's really not. Is this selling the cookbook? The point is that the food in this book is an invitation that speaks for itself. Great cooking does, and should, take time. Now is the time to double down and get your head in the cooking game. Or you know, don't. Maybe get someone else to cook this stuff for you...that works too. How can you know if something is your favorite 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. Create the building blocks necessary to make the greatest meal of your life. While you're at it, give it the Joshua Weissman—or your own—twist. As Joshua would say, “If you don’t like blue cheese, then don’t use blue cheese.” From simple staples to gourmet to deep-fried, you are the master of your own kitchen, and you'll make it all, on your terms. With no regrets, excuses, or apologies, Joshua Weissman will instruct you how with his irreverent humor, 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 you crave control of your food; if fast food or the frozen aisle or the super-fast-super-easy cookbook keep letting your tastebuds down; then Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook is your ideal kitchen companion.1 New York Times Bestseller - September 2021 Read more

    • Love the irreverent book - Great for masters and apprentices alike
I love Joshua Weissman. I got the book as a gift from my teenage son who introduced me to Weissman's videos. I am not sure if my son plans for me to cook him the things in there or if he will take the plunge and try to hold a knife without major accident... :-). Weissman is who is he and his book "sounds" like him. Yes some recipes are basic, but when was the last time you had a toast with home-made jam and home-made bread? Well, I make bread everyday (have not tried Weissman's bread recipe yet - I bet mine is better ;-)). But the fact is that he goes back to basics and the simplicity of his approach is what makes it a great book. I consider myself a pretty darn good cook (have cooked and baked since I was 8 or 9). I make my own bread, cook French, Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cajun... I never buy dressing for salad, and usually just use olive oil, salt, pepper and walnut vinegar (which I buy in France - Can't find it in the US) because I am usually in a rus. But I tried his cobb salad. His dressing recipe is at another level despite simple ingredients. It takes more time than I usually want to devote to home-made dressings, but it was totally worth it. I will paraphrase him saying you cannot rush good things, and his dressing is a good example how you can elevate something as simple as a dressing with simple ingredients. When I am out of my walnut vinegar, his dressing recipe will be my more-labor-intensive go-to recipe. It is the kind of dressing you would see in a restaurant who cares about simple wholesome ingredients and its patrons - but that you can make at home and impress your guests with by following his instructions. The book reminds me of the movie "Ratatouille": Everybody can cook! For people who are scared of cooking (and I feel the new generations are great at... not cooking), you can try to make your own mozzarella or your own pasta. You may fail, but the pride you will get when you succeed! And by mastering Weissman's simple recipes one by one, you will gain confidence and explore more and more. On the other side of the spectrum, an experienced cook like me who has explored a lot when it comes to recipes is still intrigued by Weissman's book and I want to try each and every recipe in there. So either you are a novice or an expert who wonders if Weissman's techniques make sense, you will learn and enjoy the book because it is unassuming and there is something for everyone, master or apprentice. This is what is so great about cooking: you can get great pleasure from going back to basics. ... show more

    • Love this cook book!
Had to support Joshua! Great value for all the recipes that are in this book! Enjoy his YouTube channel and it's great to have a copy of this when I want to try something new to cook.

    • Solid addition
I’ve watched Josh cook for a while and it’s great to have his recipes on paper. The flow of his book makes total sense with a strong emphasis on the basics. Looking forward to making some good eats!

    • Every Recipe is Delicious
I'm really not one for writing reviews, but I came here to write one for this cookbook. Yes I've watched Josh on YouTube, and I am an amateur cook. When I first received this cookbook I found that it held very true to the personality of both Josh himself, and his YouTube style. The recipes focus on simplicity, make from scratch styling, and delicious food with touches of humor. I've made quite a few dishes from this cookbook now (the tomato soup, the burgers, several bread doughs, the breakfast tacos, grilled cheese, etc) and each time I have a ton of fun with it. Not only are the recipes DELICIOUS (god that soup and grilled cheese was fan-freaking-tastic) but it's really fun to crack open a recipe book, find a stunning full color picture of some amazing dish and go "aight imma make that". So not only is it a fun activity, you end up with delicious food when you're done. I just made the English muffins yesterday. I've never made English muffins in my life. So this book is also encouraging me to step outside of my comfort zone. I was really surprised to read a couple of the two star reviews (long winded guy and celiac girl, looking at you) who ragged on him. This cookbook is obviously not for someone who wants to be a pro level chef, and considering the massive bread section you can't rate it on your inability to consume wheat. Or, shocking idea, take the recipe and use gluten free flour and xanthan gum like I did when I made tacos for my celiac mother. Josh has spent years creating amazing YouTube content that he shares for free, and this is a great way to support him. Additionally, it's his first cookbook. Did it occur to no one that he would use this to frame in some basics and then create subsequent cookbooks where he could expand and create more amazing recipes? I'm waiting for people to rag on his next one for not being "basic enough" after they rag on this for being too basic. It's a great book, and you will enjoy it. TLDR: this cookbook is a perfect choice for an amateur chef who likes to tackle the occasional challenge to take their time creating beautiful and equally delicious food while supporting Josh and appreciating his humor. If that sounds like you, it's a great buy. I look forward to his second book, which I will be purchasing as well. ... show more

    • My Number One Go-To Cookbook
I *love* this cookbook. Like others here, I have watched Joshua's videos on YouTube for several years and he is genuinely my favorite cook, hands down. I haven't bought butter in months because it's so easy to make my own and it's *delicious*. All of these recipes are highly adaptable and so easy to follow. His tone is lighthearted and a little sarcastic but in a fun way. He doesn't mince words and gets straight to the point. He also explains why to do a thing a certain way if there's a special process or ingredient included. It's very accessible and not daunting at all. We use the pretzel dough recipe for hamburger buns and it is *so* good. My home cooking has leveled up significantly since I started making so many of my own base ingredients from scratch. ... show more
