Tales From Our Kitchen
Hear how students have expanded their cooking abilities and cultural appreciation
Before joining Glade Lantern Compass, I used to fear anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Today I confidently craft Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine feel accessible and tied to its cultural origins.
