Celebrity Chef Ken Hom To Support Launch Of Oriental Culinary Institute From School Of Wok

Widely regarded as one the world's greatest authorities on oriental cooking, legendary chef KEN HOM has agreed to host a rare public Masterclass in support and celebration of the launch of The Oriental Culinary Institute (OCI) on Friday 28 November 2014 - a new venture from School of Wok.

Teaching the art of Oriental and Asian cuisine in the heart of London's Covent Garden, School of Wok was founded and run by TV chef Jeremy Pang. To complement the School's popular consumer courses appealing to both budding chefs and casual cooks alike, the OCI aims to create something different, appealing to those who want to learn new skills or perfect the more sophisticated and lesser known cooking methods of Asian cuisine.

The Oriental Culinary Institute has therefore been set up to specialise in accredited professional training, for those with a dream to maybe run a street food café, those looking to change careers and train professionally as a chef, or simply those who want to learn the secrets behind the doors of a dim sum kitchen.

The OCI will provide three-week courses in Oriental and Asian cookery, as well as private consultancy, chef training and bespoke one-to-one learning in a professional environment and state-of-the-art kitchen. It will also provide the understanding and focus on kitchen organisation and preparation in a commercial environment, essential for any professional chef.

This one-off Ken Hom Masterclass on 28 November runs between 6 and 9 pm and is priced at £250 per person inclusive of all materials, food and drink. The Masterclass will offer those who secure a place a chance to learn from Ken Hom's expertise in a hands-on class environment, as well as celebrating School of Wok's new venture in the launch of their professional training school.

The Oriental Culinary Institute and School of Wok are located at 61 Chandos Place, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4HG Tel: 020 7240 8818 www.schoolofwok.co.uk www.orientalculinaryinstitute.comhttps://www.facebook.com/OCILondon
