Tales From Our Kitchen
Listen to how students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural understanding
Prior to enrolling at Pondor Chid Ledger, I felt daunted by anything beyond simple Indian dishes. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, hand-make fresh pasta, and even try Japanese methods. The instructors made each cuisine seem approachable and tied to its cultural origins.
