(00:23):
I'm Marshall brain. A listener wrote into ask what is
liquid smoke? You may have seen liquid smoke called for
in certain recipes, but what is it. Liquid smoke is
literally liquefied smoke. In a prior podcast, we talked about
what smoke is. It is volatile hydrocarbons that evaporate from
(00:45):
wood when you heat wood up. What this means is
that by cooling smoke, you can cause the hydrocarbons to condense.
What you get is a dark, sticky liquid that contains
all the flavors of smoke. If you says that condensate,
thin it out a little, and put it in a bottle,
you have liquid smoke. The process starts by taking wood
(01:08):
chips or sawdust, putting them in a big metal container,
and then heating it. The heat evaporates the volatile hydrocarbons.
Then you run the smoke into a condenser, where cold
coils caused the smoke to turn back into liquid form.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
