Great class, fantastic ingredients box. Facilitator was very good at explaining process- very enjoyable & Very tasty results.

— Helen

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

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

A really wonderful night! Wendy is a fabulous teacher. It was fun learning about all the different ways to cook duck. Definitely come hungry because you eat A LOT!

— Jaeger

What an outstanding way to spend a few hours. Wendy and Mark were fantastic hosts. I will certainly be coming back again and again. I’ve just sorted my next few Christmas and Birthday gifts.
Oh and the food at the end 5 star

Fantastic educational morning

— Joan

Had a fantastic day. The class was just the right size, well organized and ran really smoothly. Had fun meeting new people we all got on and worked well together. Would highly recommend anyone to attend one of these classes. I will definitely be doing another one.

— Lesley

Great class. Knowledgeable teacher and delicious recipes.

— Wai

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

A very enjoyable and informative class with Wendy

— Tina

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

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!

— anna

Thanks Wendy for a very enjoyable evening learning all the aspects of duck French cooking and all the little hints that go with it. The food we all cooked with your assistance was amazing!!

— Doris

Absolutely loved this class! The staff were so lovely and helpful and made it very easy to get comfortable in the class. Really enjoyed the fast pace of the class as well.

— Adrian

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

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

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

We had a great time at the Luv-a-Duck cooking class. We enjoyed the cooking as well as the eating !!

— Harry

The French Inspired Duck class was very informative. The hands on cooking really helps you learn the techniques. There was some much food available to sample that I could try everything on offer.

— Pamela

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

We're a ducking good time

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