Tales From Our Kitchen
Learn how our students have broadened their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining CartonValleyStone, I avoided anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Today I confidently cook Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and try Japanese techniques. The instructors helped make every cuisine feel approachable and tied to its cultural origins.
