Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have developed their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining River Paper Trail, I felt daunted by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently craft 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.
