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.

What a great night! Well
Presented and so much fun. I did this with my partner who NEVER cold and we both really enjoyed it. To food was beautiful and Wendy was amazing and so knowledgeable.
We will be back and I’ll be planning a girls night too!! And maybe a work team building night.
And tomorrow I’ll be making two of the dishes learnt for my family.

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.

My friend and I engaged in this 3.5 hr hands on course recently.

It was conducted by Wendy,and ably assisted by Adam.

This is my 2nd LuvaDuck course,and it was superb

The demystifying of duck is impeccably presented,and the standard and quality of the training process merits accolades.
I have high praise for the conduct of this course,and certainly have recommended it to my friends and colleagues

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

— Andrew

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

— Murray

Our instructor was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We made some delicious food and learnt many different ways to prepare duck. Will be looking at going back for a different themed duck class in the future.

— Lauren

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

Very enjoyable day. Our chef Wendy was very helpful and knowledgeable, and I now feel confident to make some sensational recipes. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to attending more classes in future.
