Tales From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and deepened cultural appreciation
Before joining Candle Paper Grove, I was intimidated by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even dabble with Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
