Stories From Our Kitchen
Hear how our students have expanded their cooking skills and cultural appreciation
Before joining Sprout Prairie Spark, I was daunted by dishes beyond the basics of Indian cuisine. Now I confidently craft Thai curries, make fresh pasta from scratch, and even try Japanese techniques. The instructors made each cuisine approachable and linked to its cultural roots.
