Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural understanding
Before joining EchoLumenRidge, I felt daunted by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, roll fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
