Molly’s love of food first began when she made her first banana cream pie from scratch in her nanny’s kitchen. Her enchantment with cooking continued into her formative years as a teenager in Chicago, where she cooked dinners for friends and family on a weekly basis. After high school, Molly headed west to study painting at the University of Montana—an education that continues to influence her refined sense of presentation and aesthetic.

​

In her late 20s, she ventured east to Newport, Rhode Island, where she began her career as a yacht chef. Through perseverance, hard work, and an unwavering passion for creating memorable cuisine, Molly has steadily established herself as a high-end chef, working both land-based and aboard private and charter yachts. Her culinary style focuses on healthy, thoughtfully sourced food presented with elegance and intention.

​

Molly furthered her culinary education by studying macrobiotics in Amsterdam, where she drew lasting inspiration from Japanese cuisine and techniques. That experience continues to inform her approach in the kitchen, as she consistently incorporates new methods and ideas. She is particularly fascinated by color, texture, and balance, allowing each dish to be both visually compelling and thoughtfully composed.

Molly’s clientele has ranged from European royalty and rock stars to seasoned sailors. Most recently, she competed in the internationally respected Concours de Chefs competition in Antigua, placing 2nd in the 128–179 ft charter yacht category, a significant honor within the global yachting and culinary communities.

Molly currently resides in Montana and continues to work internationally. In her spare time, she continues to enjoy the bounties of the Rocky Mountains and international travel, seeking out mountain landscapes and cultural experiences.
