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