Everyone knows flavour is important, right? But what turns flavour into something even more spectacular? Texture! When flavour meets textures like creamy, crispy, or crunchy, the taste experience can evolve into something entirely new and utterly fantastic. Joshua Weissman introduces you to elements of flavour, but then digs deeper by explaining how flavour interacts with six fundamental textures. Your first introduction is to "Crunch," where you'll learn how to make recipes, including the most amazing fried chicken you'll ever taste, French fries (of course), and arancini. 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!

"On the morning after the Venice Preservation Society's annual black-tie gala, art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon enters his favorite coffee bar on the island of Murano to find General Cesare Ferrari, the commander of the Art Squad, eagerly awaiting his arrival. The Carabinieri have made a startling discovery in the Amalfi villa of a murdered South African shipping tycoon -- a secret vault containing an empty frame and stretcher matching the dimensions of the world's most valuable missing painting. General Ferrari asks Gabriel to quietly track down the artwork before the trail goes cold. The painting in question is "The Concert" by Johannes Vermeer, one of thirteen works of art stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. With the help of a most unlikely ally, a beautiful Danish computer hacker and professional thief, Gabriel soon discovers that the painting has changed hands as part of an illicit billion-dollar business deal involving a man code-named the Collector, an energy executive with close ties to the highest levels of Russian power. The missing masterpiece is the lynchpin of a conspiracy that if successful, could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. To foil the plot, Gabriel must carry out a daring heist of his own, with millions of lives hanging in the balance." -- Publisher.
