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.*#1 New York Times Bestseller - September 2021
