  • Smoky Martini

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023

    I got a cocktail smoker for Christmas. It is a fairly simple set of tools. Wood chips are loaded into a metal mesh cutout in a wooden top that covers the glass and a small hand torch is used to light the woodchips. Smoke then cascades down into the glass and infuses flavor into the liquor.

  • Butcher's Block: Flora Supper Club Expands

    Wednesday, December 20, 2023

    During the last few months we launched a very exclusive global culinary experience in the form of The Flora Supper Club, a multi-course wine pairing dinner right here in central Mississippi. Over the last decade the sleepy little town of Flora has grown into a foodie destination with a special emphasis on the growing farm-to-table movement. After honing my skills as a chef all over the world, from Japan and Australia to Italy and Denmark, the desire to apply what I had learned within a unique dining experience has become a runaway success. The concept was inspired by the legendary Delta Supper Club of years past. The Flora Supper Club is located in the Flora Station district within the historic Dave’s Triple B building on Main Street. Reservations are open to all by contacting Anne Marie Smith at (601)879-7803 or annemarie@makeitraines.com.
