With She-Smoke: A Backyard Barbecue Book, (Seal Press/ June 2009/ $16.95) author, Julie Reinhardt, takes the mystery out of BBQ. With plenty of hilarious stories from the author’s life, Reinhardt brings to the table her experience as a barbecue restaurant owner (Smokin’ Pete’s BBQ in Seattle), caterer and event planner, and a sanctioned barbecue judge for the Kansas City Barbeque Society, to give step-by-step instructions on a variety of barbecue topics.

 

From buying local, sustainable meats, to building the perfect slow and low fire, and smoking a holiday barbecue feast, She-Smoke also includes a host of delicious recipes aimed to teach women technique, with more in-depth instruction than that of a conventional cookbook. Women will learn the elusive history of ’cue, the difference between true barbecue and grilling, and all about the world of barbecue competition. Featuring interviews with other “smokin’” women and stories about Reinhardt’s family, She-Smoke brings women into the greater community of barbecue.

Julie Reinhardt, owner of Smokin’ Pete’s BBQ, a Seattle joint, is passionate about the slow smoke of barbecue and understands the difference between 'cuein' and grillin'. Born into an extensive Southern family, Reinhardt is ready to talk pork butt with the most macho grillmaster. She plans and caters big events, and teaches smoking and grilling classes for women. Reinhardt lives with her husband, son, and daughter, in Seattle, Washington. Read Julie’s blog at http://shesmoke.blogspot.com/
