Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Mariner Plain Quill, I felt intimidated by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cuisine. Now I confidently prepare Thai curries, craft fresh pasta from scratch, and even explore Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and connected to its cultural roots.
