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