Tales From Our Kitchen
Learn how students have expanded their cooking abilities and cultural appreciation
Before enrolling at Harbor Paper Trail, I felt overwhelmed by anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Now I confidently whip up Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and try Japanese techniques. The instructors helped each cuisine feel accessible and tied to its cultural origins.
