Stories From Our Kitchen
Listen to how learners have expanded their cooking abilities and cultural understanding
Before joining Paper Harbor Quarry, I was daunted by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even attempt Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
