Bio
Even from a young age you couldn't keep Molly Mix out of the kitchen! Hailing from West Texas, she graduated from Miami University in Oxford, OH with a degree in Dietetics. Her emphasis in food science came in handy immediately as she took a pastry position at a guest ranch in Creede, CO (elev 8,000 ft) and began to learn the secrets of high altitude baking. Her career "rose" to higher heights as she went on to bake at a mountaintop restaurant in Aspen, CO for a decade before moving to Santa Fe last year. Molly now takes full-time delight in ensuring Santa Fe School of Cooking never goes without something sweet to eat, and keeps things as "Mixed"-up as possible!
