Chinese New Year is just around the corner and true to Eastern traditions, it is to be celebrated with a feast of delicious cuisine. We’re delighted to announce that our friends at Jeremy Pang’s School of Wok are here to enlighten you on all the culinary delights they have to offer from February 8th when Chinese New Year begins, all the way up until The Lantern Festival on Feb 22nd. Not only will you get the chance to try all the delicious dishes, but you’ll also get a masterclass in how to prepare the dishes yourself. So celebrate The Year of The Monkey and learn some new skills with School of Wok.

Saturday 13th February, join in the school’s popular Flavours of China, for a special Chinese New Year feast. Participants of this class will be whisked around a lantern-lined Chinatown, for delicious samples from some of the longest-standing Chinese bakeries and markets, followed by a celebratory cooking class back at in the School of Wok kitchens. Create warming, mouth-watering and symbolic dishes such as Lionhead Meatballs (signifying strength and power) and classic Chilli & Garlic Clams (signifying good wealth) to feast on along side a glass of wine, once the cooking is complete. This full-day class is sure to get you into the true spirit of Chinese New Year!

On the 19th February we have a truly unique experience for you to enjoy. Join head chef and founder Jeremy Pang and Michelin starred chef Alfred Prasad for a journey into the world of Indian Chinese Cuisine; a popular micro-cuisine of India that merges Chinese dishes with Indian spices and ingredients. With very little known about this cuisine outside of India, this one-of-a-kind class is unlikely to be duplicated anywhere in London. And with two passionate chefs combining forces as well as ingredients, you can count on delicious dishes and unique cooking techniques such as Spicy Momos (Tibetan dumplings) with Red Chilli & Garlic Sauce, Indian Chinese Chilli Chicken, and more.
