Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have grown their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before enrolling at Balanced Mind Route, I worried about dishes beyond the basics of Indian cooking. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made every cuisine feel approachable and tied to its cultural roots.
