Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before enrolling at RiverStoneBench, I used to feel overwhelmed by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cooking. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, handmade pasta, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine seem approachable and linked to its cultural heritage.
