Learn how to cook your favourite South East Asian dishes
Chinese and South East Asian food is a fantastic combination of colours, flavours and textures, ranging from the intricate art of Dim Sum to the sticky richness of Hoisin Duck and the fragrant delights of a taste-bud teasing Thai Curry. Whether you want a Chinese cookery class, an introductory Thai cookery lesson, an Indian spice tasting session or any type of South East Asian cooking masterclass, our cooking courses offer both the expertise and the approach to get you cooking your favourite dishes in very little time. School of Wok chefs are professionals with a real passion for their subject - and their excitement is completely contagious. We also provide all ingredients and utensils, leaving you to focus on the cooking and not the cleaning up!
Working with unfamiliar ingredients can be intimidating, but all it takes is a little familiarity and knowledge. London's vibrant Chinatown is one of the best places in the UK to experience the flavours and aromas of China, and School of Wok knows all its best secrets. Join us on a Flavours of China food tour of some of the best Chinese bakeries and supermarkets in the country before enjoying a hands on cooking lesson. With several menus available, from Healthy Chinese Cooking to Oriental Seafood & Fish, it's a brilliant day out for foodies who want to experience a truly authentic day of Chinese cuisine.
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.

New School of Wok Cookery School Opening in Central London
If a private cooking course is not quite what you are looking for, we are soon to open a new School of Wok Culinary School in the heart of London. We are working hard to get our Covent Garden premise open in Spring 2012, where you will be able to choose from a plethora of scheduled group cookery courses from S.E.Asian to Chinese or Indian cuisine. Each week, different cooking classes will be available for you to learn something new to cook at home on a continuous basis. Browse through our different group cookery classes for more of an insight to what we have to offer.
We will also be running our gourmet walking tours direct from the new London cookery school, which is ideally situated just 5 minutes away from London Chinatown. Join us on a gastronomic day out and visit all the best food locations in Chinatown before heading back to School of Wok to cook up an Oriental feast! Our Flavours of China Tour is a great way to explore one of London's most well known sites, whilst really getting to experience the Chinese food culture that our chefs are so passionate about.
