Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how students expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Urban Leaf Canvas, I was daunted by anything beyond basic Indian dishes. Now I comfortably prepare Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even attempt Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
