Molly Bravo

Molly Bravo is a chef, educator, and mother who began preserving food during the uncertain days of March 2020—calling local farms, stocking up on jars, and learning to can as a way to care for her family. What started as a necessity quickly became a way of life.

Molly is the founder of Wylder Space, a catering co. and online community rooted in food sovereignty, ancestral wisdom, and the slow, seasonal rhythms of real living. She’s passionate about designing a life that reflects what truly matters: family, simplicity, community, and deep nourishment. Her days are filled with homeschooling, cooking from scratch, homesteading, and helping empower others reclaim traditional skills.

Her debut book, The Essential Canning & Preserving Cookbook, is a practical and heartfelt guide for anyone ready to return to the kitchen. Whether you’re new to food preservation or looking to deepen your skills, Molly’s recipes, charts, and storytelling will inspire confidence and connection.

She sees herself as a guide—not miles ahead, but just a step or two—walking this path of remembering and relearning alongside others. Her mission is to gather the wisdom of our elders and pass it down to the next generation. If you’re craving a slower, more intentional life rooted in tradition and love, you’re in the right place.
