Tales From Our Kitchen
Learn how students have advanced their cooking skills and embraced different cultures
Before joining Valley Pearl Lane, I felt daunted by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cuisine. Today I craft Thai curries with confidence, hand-make fresh pasta, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine approachable and tied to its cultural heritage.
