Stories From Our Kitchen
Learn how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining OakRidgeStation, I used to feel overwhelmed beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently whip up Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
