Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Crest Trail Kernel, I felt intimidated by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
