Tales From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Crest Lumen Field, I felt anxious about anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even attempt Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine feel approachable and tied to its cultural roots.
