Stories From Our Kitchen
Learn how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Ridge Crest Haven, I used to feel daunted by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, roll fresh pasta from scratch, and even attempt Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
