Tales From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Mug Bench Garden, I was hesitant to go beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
