Stories From Our Kitchen
Listen to how learners have enhanced their cooking skills and cultural understanding
Before joining OakRiverSummit, I felt overwhelmed by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Today I confidently cook Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and try Japanese techniques. Instructors helped make each cuisine approachable and tied to its cultural roots.
