We started watching Josh's YouTube channel sometime late last year, and his "But Better" videos have us constantly asking ourselves what else we could make at home, because he makes the techniques of making way better versions of things in your own kitchen look very accessible. We were thrilled when he announced his cookbook, and I'm surprised we waited four weeks to buy it. I got it earlier this week, have now read it cover to cover, put post-it flags on the things I want to make right away (expect to do this yourself, because you'll likely have most of the ingredients he uses!), and I made his buttermilk biscuit recipe this morning. Let's just say that my great grandma would be mad that Weissman's recipe took half the time to make biscuits twice the size of hers, but she'd still eat them anyway because they're so damn tasty and perfect. They might have even earned me a *papa kiss* for not opening the oven as they cooked (BTW, if you don't watch his YT content, what are you even doing?).

Thanks, Josh, for making me believe that I really can make my own butter for those biscuits, my own sourdough starter, and my own hot dog rolls, among many other things from this book.

Basic is OK but has the usual, if its bread we must do sourdough slant

Fantastic cookbook I’m excited to continue getting into over the next season. I read through the whole book and the recipes look so good!

I think Josh and his videos are hilarious but the food tastes great. I didn’t but the book just because he’s a funny guy but because he knows how to cook and has something to teach me.

Easy five stars great job bro

This is a very aesthetically pleasing cookbook. I’ve followed this guy online for awhile and he style/teaching methods are really easy to understand. Its pretty strait foreword and that definitely came through in this book. Can’t wait to cook some of these.

This would be 5 star if it wasn't for the uber super filler recipes that was included in this.

Grilled cheese, BLT sandwich, banana split just to name a few.
