Tales From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before becoming part of MellowRidgePark, I dreaded anything beyond simple Indian fare. Today I confidently craft Thai curries, hand-cut fresh pasta, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine approachable and tied to its cultural origins.
