"Project Smoke" -- BBQ Chef Steven Raichlen Says You Can Smoke Nearly Anything

There's been a huge explosion in the popularity of barbecue and smoked foods, and our guest on this episode of StudioTulsa says you can smoke nearly anything -- from eggs and cheeses to desserts and cocktails. Steven Raichlen is the bestselling author of "The Barbecue Bible," and his latest public television series (and new companion book) moves beyond BBQ to a variety of smoking techniques. "Project Smoke: Seven Steps to Smoked Food Nirvana" offers tips on equipment and techniques, and an assortment of recipes far beyond the usual meats, poultry, and seafood. In his book, Raichlen demonstrates smoking materials ranging from traditional hardwoods to smoking Chinese duck with tea...or smoking hamburgers with hay. He also offers recipes for smoked eggs, smoked desserts, and even smoked cocktails and mixed drinks.

The second season of his public television series, "Project Smoke," debuts Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm on RSU Television, and he was recently a guest here in Tulsa for several fundraising events for that TV station.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
