What’s on Molly’s Menu? It depends on what’s in season, what looks and smells good at the market, and what inspires the Chef daily. Inspiration can come from the weather, an enticing bottle of wine that begs to be paired accordingly, a meal at a local restaurant, or a culinary trip across the world. Food is the medium and the canvas can be expansive or simple, so long as the flavors, textures and temperatures harmonize in a way that charms the palate.
