Tales From Our Kitchen
Learn how students expanded their cooking abilities and cultural understanding
Before joining ThornCrestingMaple, I used to fear anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Today I comfortably cook Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese methods. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and tied to its cultural origins.
