Tales From Our Culinary Community
Discover how students expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining IslandPrairieOak, I felt daunted by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cuisine. Now I confidently whip up Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even explore Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine approachable and tied to its cultural roots.
