Tales From Our Kitchen
Discover how students have expanded their culinary skills and cultural understanding
Before joining QuartzRidgeHarbor, I felt daunted by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cooking. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even attempt Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
