Build your confidence in the kitchen and put new skills into practise at this very special, one-off cooking class in support of Curry for Change.

Who?

When Asma moved to the UK in 1991, she did not even know how to boil an egg. In 1993, Asma travelled back to her ancestral kitchens and, over time, learned recipes that had been in her family for four generations. 

Asma's ancestry stems from the royal Mughlai and Nawabi school of cuisine. In addition to her Mughlai roots from her father's side, Asma cooks the food of Calcutta, the city where she was born and raised.

The result is a lovely mélange of street food like papri chaat and royal recipes like lamb dum biryani that take you on a journey from Calcutta in the east of India to Hyderabad in the south. 

Asma's supper clubs have been listed as one of the five most authentic places in London to eat Indian food and as one of the top international supper clubs in London

Where?

School of Wok, set up by the young and talented chef Jeremy Pang, is Europe's only award winning Asian & Oriental cookery school. Located in London's Covent Garden, it provides engaging and exciting hands-on cookery classes to the public.

What’s included?

Three hours of food with Asma Khan! Explore the secrets and learn the techniques, then sit down with your fellow students to enjoy your creations in celebration of Indian Independence Day.

Each guest will get a goody bag of Indian treats to take away them.

New skills?

Making vegetables more interesting by using spice and traditional Indian flavours to broaden your cooking repertoire.

What’s next?

After the class, use your new knowledge and culinary expertise to host a dinner party with a difference to help change the lives of families who suffer from hunger. Cook a curry for your friends and ask each guest to donate what they would have spent on a takeaway. Every penny you raise will be DOUBLED by our campaign partner Natco Foods.
