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.

Excellent venue and instruction. Always a good experience with excellent food and lots of easy recipes to learn and enjoy.

— Graham

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

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

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

My daughter and I had a great time at the French Inspired lesson. Karol had a huge amount of information and tips to share and the hands-on approach worked well with the relatively small group. Because we actually worked with the recipes provided, tasted our results and were able to view and taste others’ results, we learned a great deal that day. The resulting feast at the end was awesome. Thanks Karol and Liz and the Luv-A-Duck team. We’ll definitely take part in another course.

— Helen

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

— Sam

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 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!

— Peter

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

— Linda

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

— Andrew

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

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.

— Deidrie

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

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.

— Julie
