Corporate Cooking Classes

People enjoy Zouk food so much, we’re often asked about how it’s cooked. Ever keen to share our passion for the very best in Indian and Pakistani cuisine.

People enjoy Zouk food so much, we’re often asked about how it’s cooked. Ever keen to share our passion for the very best in Indian and Pakistani cuisine.

We set up our Cookery School, where curry lovers could come along and learn a thing or two from our expert chefs.

Each course only takes half a day and teaches you to prepare and cook two starters, two main courses a rice side dish and either a naan or roti bread. Give us a little notice and we can even include a personal favourite of the day. With vegetarian classes now available, our Cookery School is growing in popularity, attracting students from around the country. If you want to join them, take a look at what’s coming up and make your booking today.

Our classes take place at our Indian Restaurant in Manchester and begin at 10 am and finish around 1.30pm. The class has the right mix of learning new skills working in teams and a little bit of competition all rounded off with a fantastic lunch and access to our mezzanine floor workspace where you can get your minds in gear and brainstorm some creative ideas for your workplace.

Want the whole Company to share the Zouk experience?

If your team is so big you think an off-site session is not the best option then we can bring Zouk to you. For training days, family days or open days we can bring a taste of India to your event. We simply bring our marquee and pop up kitchen to you on a day of your choice.  

Our Zouk team can bring their fine fare and outstanding cooking skills and share both with your employees. Grab a spot of lunch or refreshment from the live BBQ or call into the cooking tent on your break to learn a new skill like how to make to make a chapatti or a samosa. All we need is some outdoor space like an area of your car park and we bring the rest. Prices available on asking.
