Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining GladeMirrorLichen, I felt overwhelmed by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cuisine. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine feel approachable and tied to its cultural roots.
