My Luv A Duck experience was fabulous. The instructor was great. The recipes were easy to follow and delicious. I learned so much about the preparation of the duck and the products. I would recommend this class to anyone.

Great class. The staff are great and helpful. Recipes are easy to follow and can be created at home. Best think learnt was how to joint a duck.

— Margaret

My daughter and I both really enjoyed the duck cooking class. I thought that Wendy was an amazing teacher, very calm and clear with her instructions. It was a pleasure to sit and enjoy our cooking with Wendy and the other participants. I have always been a bit unsure about cooking duck but now I feel confident doing it.
I certainly want to do another class, maybe even getting a group of friends together fo the class.

This is the second course I have done – Asian Inspired duck then French inspired duck. Can’t impress on you how to wonderful the hands on cooking session are. Thanks Wendy and Vicki. You are awesome. Such an amazing duck feast at the end !!! Spectacular good value. Am going back to do the Duck and Pinot course – heard it is awesome !!!

— Josie

This was possibly one of the best evenings we have had. 3.5 hours of learning everything about how to cook duck the French way and everything else! It seems very daunting but Wendy just made it a breeze. Such a well organised class and we had heaps of fun! So so much food so make sure you have an appetite when you go over. I can’t wait to try the Asian style duck class next. And such absolute value for money!

— Reetu

What a fun class. Our instructor, Wendy, gives very clear instructions on each aspect of cooking with duck, from dissecting the raw duck to the method of cooking each fabulous French dish. Amazing the many different flavours that I now know I can add to my list. Wendy never misses a beat.

— Margaret

Delicious food, clear instructions, fun in the kitchen, the others in the class were very nice people – well done!

— Jennifer

Great night and excellent way to understand the many ways to prepare and cook duck. Excellent value and a good experience.

— Murray

Wendy gave us an excellent introduction to jointing and carving duck before we split into twos to work on 2 recipes per pair. The morning split into two – a late morning break to try the parfait and soup entrees, and lunch after we’d finished cooking all the other recipes. None of them were overly complicated and it was great to try everything at lunch. There was an opportunity, of course, to buy duck produce at the end of the class. Recommendation – if you go, don’t have a heavy breakfast. You need room for all that duck!

— Annie

The lesson was excellent – very informative, very professional, very well organised and very enjoyable. Wendy is a great communicator and patient, with a good sense of humour. I would highly recommend this experience.

— Peter

This was a fun class, with lots of knowledge and skills learned along the way. We sampled many dishes and they were all delicious. It’s so much easier to cook duck than I thought!

— Joanne

Highly recommended . Lots of enjoyment . The recipe was easy to follow. Wendy was a superstar explaining the process in simple steps and gave us time to catch up if we were running a tad slow . She was also explaining some simple tricks to assistance for preparing in advance if you are time poor when preparing a dinner party etc . Thank you for a fun night .

— Kim

Very impressed. The class was highly informative, clearly communicated, well structured so every dish was finished at the appropriate time, and the recipes were absolutely delicious. Thank you Wendy and Luv-A-Duck!

Incredible class, very well run with a range of dishes which were all amazing to taste. Particularly the confit duck. Would recommend to anyone considering learning how to cook with duck

— Michelle

This class was fantastic, Wendy was a wonderful teacher and I feel far more confident cooking with duck but also being in the kitchen and cooking in general.

— Ash

This was my first class here and I will definitely consider other classes here and recommend to my friends. Excellent preparation and clear guidance from the warm and friendly teaching lead, I learnt a lot of new and easy French duck dishes. A warm welcome and wonderful experience. Great for food lovers and a good gift idea. Thanks!
