Tales From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining HarborRiverLighthouse, I felt overwhelmed by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cooking. Today I confidently whip up Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors helped every cuisine feel accessible and deeply tied to its cultural origins.
