A well-known philanthropist in Norwich and Cooperstown, Smith donates l00 percent of SchoolHouse Kitchen’s profits to educational organizations that she feels will enhance society by empowering youth to create a better world.

“I’m big on education, on changing hearts and minds of people and overcoming prejudice,” she said.

Smith’s homemade mustard, first to hit retailers’ shelves in 2004, was created after 30 years of testing at home. The unique flavor combination enhances foods without an overwhelming taste. It is recommended as a rub for grilling meats and fish, a pretzel or cheese dip, as a base for salad dressing, and a condiment for sandwiches.
