Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before becoming part of Grain Leaf Haven, I avoided anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Now I confidently cook Thai curries, craft fresh pasta, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine seem approachable and tied to its cultural origins.
