Spent last evening at French duck cooking class (as in French cooking, they weren’t French ducks!). The evening was well organized with good communication before hand of what to wear, where to come, time etc. There were 10 of us there split into groups of 2 and cooking 2 courses each. Hats off to our chef and guide Wendy who did a fantastic job ensuring we all managed to produce some really tasty French food. There are apparently 6 other courses available and quite confident we will be back for another one.

What a great night of cooking duck with a French influence.

Wendy and Gail were great teachers and hosts who made us all feel very comfortable and confident with the cooking instructions

We all sat around the table eating our meals while discussing the menu of all the delicious meals .

We will definitely return for another cooking session

What a wonderful concept. Learning to cook delicious duck dishes from the comfort of my own kitchen. Booking online was easy, emails leading up to the class were timely and informative, the delivery of the duck and ingredients went smoothly, the preparation instructions were easy to follow and the class was fun and interactive. I delighted my family with the amazing duck meal I prepared.

— Theresa

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 .

My husband and I participated in the french inspired duck on Saturday and we loved it. We were in a class of 10 with each pair making 2 different dishes. We went through basics like roasting and cutting a duck to making confit duck. Then it came to sitting down for lunch and eating our 10 dishes with wine. OMG we ate well. Wendy was very patient and knowledeable and Gail did all our dishes. It was an amazing afternoon. We will be back!

The virtual cooking class was a pleasant experience which you can do at the comfort of your own kitchen, recipes were easy to follow, and the dishes turn out very professional presented and flavours are amazing. Wendy is very good at explaining each recipe and how we can nail it, I enjoyed it very much. Will definitely try other cooking class too when it become available.

— Vivienne

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

A great class that I would highly recommend. Wendy & Mark were great facilitators and ensured everyone had a great time. I’m a confident cook and picked up some new tricks.

— Elaura

The recipes were simple and delicious. Both Wendy and Peta were charming, knowledgeable and friendly. Loved having all those different dishes with our fellow participants, all in all a lovely, genteel way to spend a Saturday morning.

The team at Luv a Duck were professional and fun. I learnt lots, ate a heap of great food and feel more confident to cook a food at home that I would normally have left to the experts.

— Melanie

Enjoyable small group class where you learn delicious duck recipes that don’t seem daunting to cook at home! Wendy the teacher was excellent.

— Nat

Loved how we were taught how to break down a duck and it wasn’t just provided in its pieces.
They also taught us little tips and tricks about HOW to cut the pieces out and different seasonings that would work really well with the different cuts.

— Susan

wonderful, instructive, delicious. Great value for money, plus all the other guests/participants were very nice company, too.
definitely worth a return visit.

— James

THIS CLASS WAS FANTASTIC – IT WAS RELAXED AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. WE LEARNT SO MUCH AS THE TEACHERS WERE SO CARING AND KNOWLEDGABLE. THE FACILITIES WERE EXCELLENT AND THE COURSE IS GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY AS WE HAD A WONDERFUL DINNER WITH WINE AND SHARED WHAT WE COOKED – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND AN EXCELLENT GIFT.

— Greg

My 3rd visit, another fantastic class. Everytime I go even though we always cover the basics first, I always learn more about how to prepare a duck. Wendy has enviable knife and cooking skills.

— Marc

Very well organised event with many more duck courses than I ever imagined. There were over 8 dishes. All delicious and all cooked by the class mates.
Very knowledgeable chef and extremely helpful aide.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves ducks.

— Athena

I went by myself and still had a heap of fun! Lots to cook and you can watch everyone else with the different recipes! All were yummy and had great instruction from Wendy and Cal! THANK YOU!!

— Julia

Wonderful experience, we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything was well planned out and prepared. Wendy explained everything and was extremely helpful. I would recommend it to everyone and it is great value for money.

— Kathryn

Absolutely the best cooking course around. Wendy explained everything there is to know about ducks and cooking them. Totally possible to cook all these dishes at home, and we have already done three in the week. Great product and a course well worth doing.

— Judy

We’ve got hands-on classes, talented chefs, and a whole lot of fun!
