Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining IslandGladePark, I felt daunted by anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even tackle Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
