‘An Unapologetic Cookbook’ by Joshua Weissman
The YouTuber’s new book is exactly what you need if you want to take cooking seriously

YouTube’s favourite Gen-Z chef Joshua Weissman has released a cookbook that can help anyone become the master of their own kitchen. Weissman essentially points out that good food takes time and no matter what Tik Tokers would have you believe three-ingredient meals aren’t all that great. Weissman’s cooking videos on YouTube break down elaborate recipes (don’t miss out on his impeccable recipe for Hokkaido Milk Buns) and his cookbook too puts a lot of focus on making gourmet food from scratch using basic pantry ingredients.
Weissman, who has more than five million subscribers on YouTube believes that switching up the techniques of making buns, patties, pickles or condiments can bring about a huge difference in flavour profiles. An Unapologetic Cookbook is an ideal kitchen companion but it’s also a good coffee table read because it’s entertaining and witty.
