Stories from Our Kitchen
Learn how our students have expanded their cooking abilities and cultural appreciation
Before joining QuartzGardenLeaf, I was daunted by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cuisine. Now I confidently make Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and tied to its cultural roots.
