School of Wok is just weeks away from opening the first Oriental and Asian cookery school in Central London's Covent Garden. The headquarters are located at the heart of a bustling foodie scene, a short walk away from the world-renowned Covent Garden Market and some great restaurants such as Wahaca, Clos Maggiore and L'Atelier De Joel Robuchon. Located directly in between Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Charing Cross tube stations, the new school is really easy to find. Our new address: 61 Chandos Place, London, WC2N 4HG [map].
The cookery school will offer a plethora of scheduled group cookery courses covering a wide variety of Asian cuisines, from Chinese to Indian, or Vietnamese to Japanese. And if that's not enough, we will also be running gourmet walking tours direct from our new HQ, which is situated just five minutes away from Chinatown. Join us on a gastronomic day out, visiting all the well-known (and hidden gems) of Chinatown before heading back to School of Wok to cook up an Oriental feast.
"We are very proud to be opening our flagship cookery school, in such a brilliant location" said Head Chef Jeremy Pang. "With our School of Wok stamp in Central London, we hope to offer both our existing customers and new customers a really fun experience and teach them something great to take home and cook again."
The website now has a handy new calendar to make the booking process a whole lot easier. Browse through our upcoming events for more of an insight to what we have to offer.

Head Chef Jeremy Pang of School of Wok cooking with Nigel Slater on BBC One!
Having started School of Wok teaching people how to cook in their own homes, Jeremy was honoured to be asked to make a dish for one of the UK's most well known home-cook's - Nigel Slater. Filmed as part of the celebrity chef's BBC Simple Cooking series, Jeremy had a brilliant day showing Nigel how he combines sweet and sour flavours to create a deliciously spicy tamarind fish curry. With Nigel's great knowledge of all types of worldly cuisine, Jeremy emphasised that this wasn't so much a cooking lesson, but more of a "here's how I do it, but what would you do with the same ingredients?" moment. Jeremy was very excited to be working alongside such a world-class chef... press play below to watch the clip.
