Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Ridge Cozy Quiet, I was intimidated by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even attempt Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
