What a fun, well organised and informative few hours this turned out to be. So much is covered in such a short time in an authoritative yet extremely friendly manner. Everything is set up before arrival to ensure available time is optimised and timings of dishes work out well to allow a break for Entree and then a return to sample a table of everyone’s food at the end. Highly recommend this for ‘foodies’, duck aficionado’s or anyone who wishes to learn something new.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.
