An excellent and well co-ordinated event. Our instructor (Wendy) was great – so much food and it was all delicious! Highly recommended

— Pau

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

— Murray

We learnt the right way to cook several French duck dishes. It was excellent. Wendy is a star.

— Peter

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

— Chris

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

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

Loved the format and kitchen layout but found the bench space /stove restricted with everyone cooking. Room was incredibly hot and uncomfortable. Breakdown of a duck informative. Confy, casserole and parfait excellent and really simple compared to many recipes we have seen. Use of duck sausage rather then pork was interesting as duck and fennel sausage had excellent flavour. Will add to our shopping list. Various duck breast dishes ok but way too much food. Had a good night and enjoyed the experience.

— Patricia

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

— Stephanie

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

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.

— Michelle

The class was very enjoyable, Wendy was great, explained everything perfectly & helped everybody when they needed it, Rhonda was also a huge help in the kitchen. The food was amazing & the overall experience was excellent! I highly recommend this class to others.

— Sharon

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

Great class. Knowledgeable teacher and delicious recipes.

— Wai

What fun. The team were very organised, Wendy and exceptional teacher and Mark all over the support role. Delicious recipes provided to take away. Hands on class with a chance to taste the wide range of dishes made by the students.
Highly recommended

— Jane

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

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.
