Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and appreciation for cultures
Before joining River Cliff Orchid, I felt daunted by anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Now I confidently make Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine approachable and tied to its cultural origins.
