Tales From Our Studio
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking abilities and cultural understanding
Before joining HarborHavenOpal, I felt daunted by dishes beyond basics of Indian cuisine. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, hand-make fresh pasta, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
