Fleur de V transformed its spaced into a candlelit restaurant accented with palms.

Sharing an office space with Vanessa Flory of Fleur de V for the past few years, I’ve often heard the talented floral designer talk about wanting to host a pop up restaurant in her space. She finally got that chance last weekend as Fleur de V was transformed into a 12-seat restaurant for Field Rations’ two nights of their intimate popup restaurant.

Decorated with palm leaves and candlelight, the space played home to a 7-course meal with wine pairings from Rosenthal wines.

If you haven’t heard the recent buzz about Field Rations, here’s a little background. The company presents fine dining on location, featuring the culinary talents of Chef Brian Laughlin and Jesse Nagle.

They deliver custom menus with a modern approach and sophisticated pairings to any venue, home or space that would provide an exquisite dining experience. In the future, they will also be offering exquisitely prepared, ready to eat meals that take little prep at home.

And now,  a few outtakes from out meal.

Also originally from the South, Cara Rank discovered cooking was a creative outlet that helped her relax after long days writing magazine and newspaper articles during the past eight years in Jackson. Really, she just missed Southern food. A lot. During a 12-year career as a journalist, Cara has won numerous awards for her work and has written about everything from rodeo queens to Dolly Parton tomatoes. She spends her weekends making jars of pickles and jam and amazing dinners for friends. She loves shishito peppers, Chicago-style hot dogs and elderflower-spiked cocktails.
