A chef who thrives under pressure, Molly actively seeks competitive challenges to push her creativity. At 18 she was a finalist on the South African television baking competition, The Tastemaster SA. Her developing talent was further validated at culinary school, where she placed in the top two in both years of the highly regarded ‘Legacy’ competition, taking first place in her initial year. Molly’s passion for elevated cuisine was honed in the demanding environment of Johannesburg’s high-end restaurant scene, where she discovered her love for fine dining.

Now part of the team at Restaurant Mosaic at Château des Tesnières in Brittany, France, Molly approaches every kitchen challenge with infectious curiosity and aims to produce truly memorable dining experiences.
