Next is "Chewy," where you'll make recipes including New York bagels, Jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles), and boba tea. "Aerated" features recipes like cheese foam, challah bourbon french toast casserole, and a lighter-than-air glazed donut. The "Creamy" chapter features 1-pound butter potatoes, mac and cheese, and tres leches. In fluid, you'll indulge in birria tacos, diner-style milkshakes, and matzo ball soup. Finally, the "Fatty" chapter features a 72-hour short rib with coffee caramel, hamachi crudo, and a Texas toast smashburger.With Joshua, you know there is no halfway; these recipes will challenge you and make cooking what it's supposed to be-fun and maybe a little dangerous!Here's what you'll find inside:- Six amazing texture chapters, each with each with an insightful introduction that explains how each texture interacts with flavor.- Over 75 new and bold recipes, made in the no-holds-barred way you expect from Joshua.- Incredible photography and plenty of the push-the-limits energy that can only come from one of the biggest cooking stars on the internet.
