How versatile the duck can be

— Nicole

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

What a pleasant way to spend an evening and gain new skills. The food was divine, the teachers calm and helpful. Couldn’t believe a bunch of novice cooks could produce such a feast. 7 dishes with apologies because we had such a small group we couldn’t do more! Can’t wait to do another.

— Carole

It was fun and good experience overall. Also the introduction of the luvaduck’s was very skillful.

— Andrew

This was a most enjoyable class with Wendy starting from the very basic on how to dissect a roasted duck successfully, to moving on to a varied number of recipes from entree to main courses. Group participation was a good way of being taught how to prepare a recipe. Her assistant was instrumental in making sure that the kitchen remained at all times tidy ad there was everything provided for us to ensure that it was a very enjoyable and successful time spent. A good investment.

Wendy was a great teacher. Professional kind and completely understanding when we explained we were beginners. Thanks for a day well spent!

— Stephanie

A very enjoyable night, good conversations, a few laughs, great food and very good teacher. Thankyou Wendy, Pony and the team.

— Katie

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

Thanks for a very informative and fun day.
Thoroughly enjoyable and Wendy is the perfect person to lead the group through the whole process. Especially with 11 people all trying to do different things. And thanks to the assistants a who were like the invisible fairies cleaning up around us !!
Hats off to you all !

Thoroughly enjoyed the cooking – it’s just so easy to cook beautiful food when you are shown how 🙂
thanks ladies.

— Linda

The teacher demonstrated each of the dishes clearly and helped everyone. It was a friendly atmosphere in the professionally equipped kitchen. The dishes prepared were varied and we shared them at the dining table after preparation. I really enjoyed my morning and feel confident of being able to replicate the dishes at home.

— Helen

Do it…. Seriously, take the class. Wendy was a great teacher, I was left without a partner and that didn’t matter in the slightest. The food tasted incredible and the recipes are so simple… do yourself a big favour and take the class!

— Matthew

Excellent class with great recipes & as always very professional & friendly instructor. Will recommend to. Everybody who likes a duck. I will definitely do another class in the future.

What a fun, well organised and informative few hours this turned out to be. So much is covered in such a short time in an authoritative yet extremely friendly manner. Everything is set up before arrival to ensure available time is optimised and timings of dishes work out well to allow a break for Entree and then a return to sample a table of everyone’s food at the end. Highly recommend this for ‘foodies’, duck aficionado’s or anyone who wishes to learn something new.

— Lorraine

French Cuisine, the food was lovely and all participants were quite chuffed we produced such an amazing range of dishes.
Thank-you

— Chris
